The good news is Prissy is doing great here. She is an easy dog to have around. Very attentive, lovable and all round awesome dog.
The bad news is we just found out she has an inguinal hernia. All dogs need a Certified Health Certificate that is less than 4 weeks old prior to being adopted. I took her to HAWS for a vet visit today and they found the hernia. It is small but they do recommend surgery. She will have her surgery this coming Monday. I don't know how long Lori will want me to keep her here after her surgery. She does release dogs that have had spay/neuter surgery after a couple of days. Maybe the following weekend, Prissy can be adopted. The only post-op protocol after hernia surgery should be no running or jumping. I will find out Monday how long this activity restriction is for but I would think around 10 days. (I'm not a vet tech, but am a RN-lol)
About Me
- Cricket
- I'm Cricket. I am a rescue dog from a shelter in Alabama that found my own family in 2008. I was adopted from Fluffy Dog Rescue, Hartland, WI. With this blog, my family hopes to share information about the foster dogs that we care for while they are waiting for a family of their own. The pups are found on petfinder.com, Hartland, WI.....My mom loves taking pictures and meets all the transports to take new photos of the incoming dogs. She upkeeps several blogs for other foster parents helping their dogs find homes too.
