Keeping up with Kiah

Kiah is still at the hospital and today, if she is up for it, she will be microchipped, some blood tests will be performed and she may receive her vaccinations. She won’t be spayed, however, until she has fully recovered from her surgery. Dr. Schirmer advised us that getting healthy granulation tissue to grow over the exposed bone is the next step and if this is not possible, Kiah may have to have another surgery.

Keeping Kiah’s foot clean and bandaged and monitoring the healing over the next few weeks is going to be very important. She’s not 100% out of the woods yet from losing her leg, but if it comes to that we will know we did all we could, and she’s one that would keep going and never give up. she would adapt, I’m sure. We don’t know when we will be able to bring her home, but it is very possible it may be today.

We are very thankful for everyone’s support and I know Kiah would thank you, too, if she could.

She’s precious and is like a little kid experiencing new things. The expressions on her face are priceless. She’s the most photogenic dog I’ve ever known! When I talk to her, she looks at me like she truly understands what I’m saying. While it may be a long healing process (due to the bone healing issue), we believe Kiah will recover and be a happy girl. You all made this possible. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Sincerely,
Theresa
