Beemer's Story

[Penny, Comiskey & Beemer]

By now several of you know that Beemer has been diagnosed with severe hip dysphasia.  Our little guy had surgery on his left hip this past Wednesday and came home on Thursday.  He is doing very well.  If all goes well, his right hip will be done
in 4 weeks….total recovery should be approximately 4 months.  His prognosis is wonderful….90 to 95%
mobility….Beemer is 13 months old….what a great, pain free life he is going to
have.  On a lighter note…Beemer has asked
that I type his perspective on all of this….so here goes:

 

Beemer here…..so have been uncomfortable for a while…but I didn’t want to worry my folks.  I am not one to complain, but around Christmas I was limping pretty bad…so off to the
vet…Because I wasn’t talking to the vet either, she though an anti-inflammatory
drug was in order…I took those for 12 days and I felt better but the limp was
still there….now back to the vet.  They
shaved my leg (I now look like I am wearing 1 UGG boot)…knocked me out,,,took
x-rays and yep, you guessed it…the vet was not happy with what she saw….so off
to the orthopedic specialist.  I though
he was a real nice guy until my mom started to cry and my dad just looked so
sad…..Hip Dysphasia!

 

Now if all you fans remember, for Halloween, I was a “Chippendoodle” dancer.  So as you can guess, my hips are my lively hood!....So repaired they must be. 
Like my mom stated above…I had the surgery on Wednesday.  I am not absolutely sure what happened, but now
my front legs look like I am wearing 2 UGG boots and my left leg and buttocks
are very bare!...I am al little embarre-assed right now…but my mom is going to
make me some pants….I got real good treatment…and got very attached to a tech
named Deana…love ya babe!  I digress,
they sent me home with some “Doggy Vicodin” so I am feeling great….I can walk
with the aid of a sling…but no playing…Comiskey’s not happy!  I will get the stitches out in 2 weeks…wow,
what a scar…..Then two weeks after that, we will do it all over again….I will
keep you all posted….love to all, Beemer

Beamer,
Buddy, Pal, I am sorry you can't run and jump for a while. My brother had surgery on his leg and he had to stay in jail and couldn't play forrrreeevvveerrr. I had to be so nice to him. Tell your brother, he has to be nice to you right now and give you all the best stuff. My brother is all better now and so I am back to stealing his fuzzy ball and hogging the cushions.
Doodlehugs and doodlekisses,
Ned

[Dan, Judi, & Timbow]

Beemer, I am so glad that you're doing ok and hope that your healing continues! Hugs!

[Leslie and Halas]

Halas and I are so thankful that your prognosis is good! You'll be back to swinging those hips around in no time. If anyone asks about your funny haircut, just tell them you stared to shave a lot of yourself to see what you'd look like as a poodle, but then you changed your mind in the middle. We know that Comiskey and your mommy and daddy will take great care of you while you recover.

What a joy and a blessing, to be so loved. And to love so hard.
