Two weeks ago our beloved Border Terrier Eddie had to have his right rear leg amputated following a traffic accident. He’s almost 10 years old and a little overweight (which we are addressing). He was pinned under a wheel and as a consequence, his little tummy had been dragged on the hard road surface and he had very bad friction burns to cope with too. As you can imagine we were all shocked and devastated and couldn’t imagine how he was going to cope and what the future held. We live in the UK and there are not many resources to offer help and encourangement so I was delighted to find this website. So, I’m going to let Eddie himself tell you all about his progress and hope life with three legs is not so bad after all. However, you’ll all have to bear with him because it’s his first foray into the world of ‘blogging’!
Hi Eddie here! I pleased to report that yesterday I went off to see the vet who removed my stitches and my wound is very neat and tidy. I’m also very proud to say that I caused havoc for my pawrents as I’d spotted the squeeky toy section on my way in (my favourite toys in the whole world). As soon as they put me down on the floor I was off to find ’em and even though the floor was slippery I showed ’em a clean pair of heels I can tell you. I managed to poke my head into every cat basket that was on sale on my way through too. My mum was forced to run after me ha, ha! I can report that I’m somewhat a celebrity in the vets and everyone is always pleased to see me and they are all astounded at my progress and give my pawrents lots of praise for the care they’ve given me. On a suitable surface I can now get myself up on my three legs and get around quite well and on slippery surfaces I manage quite well too (as the squeaky toy aisle proved). Despite my pawrents telling me I must not tackle the stairs (I live over the business) my smiling face is always waiting for them at the bottom when they open the door. I even attempted getting back up them today as my muscles are getting stronger by the day 🙂 The next big adventure for me is hydrotherapy and I’m going to have my picture taken whilst I’m swimming so that the vet can it onto their webPages to encourage other dogs who have to overcome injury. I’ll report back after my first few lessons. Who said life on three legs was all doom and gloom!!!
Hi Becks, thanks for joining. We look forward to hearing more about Eddie.
