Angel Update (21 September 2024)
Angel has been doing well so far after surgery with @animal.rescue.kharhiv at the clinic. She is trying to get up and put some weight on her rear end, but is just not ready yet to do that. She was not really her happy, smiling self on this visit, but she was also being titrated off her pain meds at this point and still in some discomfort.
Her recovery has been roughly at the speed expected. She is not to the point yet where she can get up and have the movement she wants, which is frustrating for her. She has tried multiple times on multiple visits to get up on her rear legs. That is clearly something she is not capable of doing. You can see the muscular atrophy in her rear end that is normal as part of the healing process.
Atrophy is a wasting away of the muscle tissue either from nutritional deficiencies or from a lack of use. In her case it is clearly from a lack of use and you can see the same effect in patients who have had casts removed. Once removed, the limb underneath is much smaller than the opposing side due to a lack of usage. Once she is up and moving again she will gain back her muscle mass and strength in her rear end. There might be a permanent limp due to the injury, but right now it is too soon to tell.
There will be another update coming from the clinic before our time in Ukraine is up. We hope you will keep this girl in your thoughts and prayers as she continues to make strides towards being strong again. She has an incredible home waiting for her in the US where she is going to get lots of exercise and playtime to strengthen that leg back up.
