Cookie 06-169 [1]

4/17/06: Cookie is here! She's a sweet little 5 month old girl with TERRIBLE hips. She was rescued by a wonderful vet in central Iowa who, unfortunately, had to turn her over to RAGOM so she could get the medical care she needs. Sounds as if she's going to need TPO (triple pelvic osteotomy) and fortunately this can be done at a young age and the only place to do it is at Iowa State University (because she's in Iowa). Potty training is going very well with her and last night she got to sleep in the bedroom with me on a nice comfy dog bed....she was such a good girl!! We are going to the vet on Thursday to get her hips x-rayed, spay stitches out and to have an abnormality checked out on her sternum. More to come on Thursday....
