The girlies and @zrunns threw me a surprise post-birthday celebration now they they are here for the summer and invited all of our neighbors and their kids over yesterday. Pokemon themed party for a 36 year old? YOU BET!
Thanks everyone for your replies 😢 it means so much to me to have a support network on this app. We found out today that despite our efforts to replace Gigi’s 2nd leg surgically, her body is rejecting the internal suture and continues to get severe infections, which is causing her an immense amount by of pain and making her lame again.
Their only real resolution for us is to surgically remove the internal suture, let the infection heal, and then perform a TPLO surgery. All of which will cost an immense amount of money that we really just don’t have right now, with no real guarantee that her other leg can even withstand the recovery from another surgery, having been repaired only 6 months ago as well.
I’ve sat on this plane just trying to come to terms with the likelihood that we will be putting down our 6.5 year old dog. Guy next to me definitely thinks there’s something wrong with me because I keep crying. Just wasn’t the news we needed today after everything we’ve done to try to help her get healthy.
@britttlifts Thank you both!! Unfortunately, even with a go fund me we have to weigh the risk that her other leg won’t be able to withstand the recovery. So many factors we have to consider right now 😢 if we decide to make one, I will definitely post it
