Lulu's 2nd Surgery - Maltese Dogs Forum : Spoiled Maltese Forums

**Muffin's Mama** · 12-18-2012, 05:51 PM

Our little Sweetie has made it through another long, delicate surgery on her spine. The surgeon was stunned to find that both of her sutures had snapped. We don't know how it could have happened. The nylon suture material is similar to 60 lb fishing line and she's too tiny to exert that much force. There must have been a defect in the suture material itself. But the main thing is she made it through again. She's resting comfortably and not in pain, thank God! Thanks for your prayers.

Poor little Lulu. It's not fair that she has had to go through such pain.
She must be a tough little girl.
Sending lots of love to Lulu and wishes for her to be home with her family soon.

Jane - relieved that the surgery is over and praying these sutures hold. So is it off to the guest house?

**Muffin's Mama** · 12-18-2012, 06:20 PM

Yes, Susan, it's off to the guest house. I've worked out a schedule so my husband and I can take turns staying with her there. He started off saying something like; "Surely we can all be together some of the time.." but I said, "No, not until mid-February. Don't mess with me, Buddy! I'm in Mommy Mode!"
