Baylee makes more progress

 

Baylee's foster mom emailed me an update this afternoon.  Makes my heart sing to hear that progress is being made.

Baylee is doing very well and will be having her staples removed Thursday. She is letting me know when she needs to go potty and we have been 100% successful all week. She was a little constipated from the pain meds initially but that has resolved and she is not having any other problems.

She had a bath before I took her pictures today and that was quite a challenge. I have to be sure not to get water on her back. She enjoyed her bath and is much happier being clean. When she first came home, she was incontinent and had to be washed frequently but today it was just to make her smell fresh. One of the pictures is her snoozing in my office while I was working.

My girls are watching over her and keeping her company. She is doing very well and making excellent progress. We have finished one medication and only have five more to go. She is a very happy little girl and only getting me up once a night so we are definitely making progress.

One concern about a paralyzed dog is the incontinence.  Incontinence really makes a dog unadoptable, so to hear that she's making progress in that area is fantastic.  Now if we can only make those little legs work.

Thanks again, to all of you that supported us in giving this little gal a chance.
