    Your thoughts for Penny

    Poor Penny isn't well. She's been having trouble with her hips over the last few months and it's been getting worse, and x-rays today revealed that indeed there is a serious problem. Her vet has sent her x-rays to the veterinary college in UCD for a second expert opinion and untill we have that they're not sure what the best course of action is, but the possibility of a double hip replacement was mentioned. She's only four years old and it's breaking my heart. If you don't have a dog you mightn't understand, but leaving her alone and anxious at the vet's this morning, feeling like I was abandoning her, was horrible. And then when I went back to collect her in the evening, and she all wobbly and sedated... it was heart wrenching. I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like for parents with sick children.

    And she never complains.

      Aw poor Penny, as a dog lover I totally understand. Better to get the operation done now when she is young and in full health, she'll be like new when its done :)

      Aw poor thing! Wishing her a speedy recovery! As someone else said, better to have this over and done with now than when she's older. They own our hearts the minute we meet them. Be heartbroken if anything happened our mylo. Hope she gets better soon! x

      It will work out OK in the end, best have the operation now at 4 and bounce back, rather than find out about it at age 8. thats like 90 in gay dog years. best of luck

      Oh no! So sorry to hear that love. Bella got really sick just a couple weeks after Chris brought her home. She was still so small and had to have a stay in the vet, hooked up to drips and a big operation. Chris was really shook and so worried. We all were. When people hear about the cost some of them always ask "why not just get her put down? That's a lot of money" but of course it doesn't work like that. They become so entwined in your life so quickly, and when they are in trouble you worry about them the same way you worry about anyone else close to you in your life. Maybe even more because they are so vulnerable and can't ask for what they need. Totally understand, and hope everything goes ok x

      Ah poor girl. They can do so much nowadays, so hopefully after a second opinion you will have a few options. Fingers and paws crossedxxx

      You and Penny both will be in my thoughts.

      I'm so sorry to hear that, Panti, it sounds horribly distressing. I hope there's good news very soon - extra cuddles and treats from her extended framily!

      Ah god, hope she's feeling better soon, xo

      I've grown up within a household that never had any pets (too many mouths to feed already, my mum would say). I never understood why people got attached to their pets......that is until I got a cat (which I thought I'd hate). She got knocked down on the road after a few months and that's when I realised the attachment. Penny is with the best parent, master and friend so I'm sure the best decisions will be made for her and you. She'll be enjoying her walks again in no time. Best of luck
