my marco

So it’s Friday, 8:30am.  The vet should be 30 minutes into the surgery.  I receive a call.  It’s the vet.  He says that after rechecking Marco before surgery, he feels that the bones are actually healing now.  Since he’d had a week of total crating, vitamins, antibiotics, and puppy food that the infection is almost clear and the bone is repairing.  He says that  he is NOT going to do the surgery, he’s keeping him another 2-3 weeks, same regime, with more x-rays and “you might even get some money back”.  I’m floored…  Is he  just trying to drag it on more because he feels guilty?  Are they going to suck up all this money then when it doesn’t work yet again ask for more?  He doesn’t understand why I’m not jumping and screaming hooray, that actually I’m more confused.  I hadn’t seen him in a week and all I can see in my mind is all the blood and infection oozing and x-ray after x-ray of these 2 little chicken wing bones snapped in 2. “How in the world could this be better in just 7 days?”  I went to visit him.  He had no cast or bandage on.  He really did look a lot better.  So now I’m going to go with what this vet says and Marco will keep his “spare” for now.

The only thing now is that I have found this wonderful community and I will probably not have a tripawd after all!  You all have been the nicest people I have ever talked to.  Thank you all for your encouraging words.  I have uploaded 3 pics. 1 a week ago and2 now.
