Hello, Eric, Olivia's daddy here. Olivia underwent surgery earlier this afternoon and the doctor told me it went great. With the spiral break in her leg they had to wind wire around both broken bones and then attached a metal plate to each bone and secured them with screws. The metal plates are permanent and will never come out. Healing should take take 8 to 10 weeks and for a long time she will be restricted to very little movement so that nature can take it's course and the break can heal correctly. Unfortunately, due to doctor's orders we were unable to come visit her tonight. We miss her dearly and can't wait for her to come home. Tomorrow morning she'll be discharged and we'll have another update then.
Again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the overwhelming support from everyone. From friends and family to fellow animal owners and complete strangers we all have a common understanding of what it means to help a family member in need, even if that family member is furry with four legs.
Have a good night,
Eric
Hi! This is going to sound odd, but I spent quite a bit of time with Olivia when she came into the clinic! I work at ASCS as a surgical assistant and I absolutely adored your lovely frenchie :). I took photos of her when she came out of surgery because she was so adorable! My friend found this website (I have no idea how!) after I came home showing pictures of the super sweet frenchie named Olivia! You should know that she got lots of love during her stay at ASCS. Best of luck with recovery!
