Post Surgery for Skye

Skye returns to her foster home after a successful surgery to implant a device to close her PDA. Now that the implant is in place it must be given time to allow Skye's body to accept it. The doctors repeatedly stressed that Skye have total cage rest for 2 weeks. We believe that this will be more difficult than the surgery as Skye is ready to return to her adventures of puppyhood.

The Skye Team and other wonderful people at WSU Small Animal Veterinary Clinic have given so much of their time,skills,talent and love to this special Scottie. Skye had many admirers and was taken home over a weekend by a student so she could have more attention. We extend our deepest gratitude to the staff at the clinic for all the kindness and time spent to give Skye the chance she deserved.

At present Skye is pouting in her cage as she really wants to charge about the house and yard. We have to keep her from jumping so as to keep the implant in place. Her heart no longer sounds like a motor running with missing cylinders. She gets rechecked in two weeks and again after one month. If all is in place then she can be spayed and plans go forward to place this adorable girl.

Skye will be given time to be petted when she attends the Seattle Scottish Highland Festival on Sunday July 27. She will be with other Scotties in the Celtic Kennel. She was granted this time as long as she isn't allowed to run. Come on by and see this Scottie with all the attitude of a true terrier.
