Her sore was examined and we were given more antibiotic cream and antibiotics. This sore is so deep and so massive that it will be a lifelong struggle. It is the side she feels most comfortable lying on. It more than likely won’t ever fully heal.
Putting her in a rear wheelchair very well could make her spine worse because of the placement of the injury and the way it has healed itself. She is 100% weight bearing on her front end.
So. What is her prognosis?
First and foremost, Management. She has been placed on rimadyl for inflammation and pain. She is on antibiotics. She will have her wound cleaned and redressed daily.
The always amazing Joeys PAW immediately changed gears and is sending her a quad wheelchair that will arrive Friday. This will take the pressure off her front end as well. And then, they are having a custom chair made just for her. To her specifications.
They also supplied a stroller that we can line with padding to take the pressure off her wound, and so when she’s not in her chair but still wants to be out, she doesn’t have to do the work.
Here is the hard part though. She does not currently show that she is painful, even if we know she has to be feeling some. Dogs have this innate ability to mask pain. So, we will watch for changes. We will monitor her closely each and every single day. And we will make sure that every day she is here, will be one she is cherished.
If a time comes where we see that her days are not filled with the happiness and joy that she currently possesses, that her days are getting harder and more painful, her days are a struggle, we will not let her live in pain. We will make a decision at that time, to free her of a body that is failing her in ways no one’s ever should. We will not let this beautiful being suffer needlessly when we know how radiant her soul is. And it is. She is amazing. And she is beautiful. And our hearts already love her so incredibly much.
We named her Aysa because it means beautiful. It means radiant. It means healer. While we can not heal her physical body no matter how badly we may wish to, we can be certain that her heart will never again need healed.
Aysa will require much medical care and if you are in any way able to help with that, it is appreciated.
