My baby girl is finally home! Joyce was extremely excited to come home🤗🤗We have to go back to the vet on Monday and see if the drain tubes are ready to come out. If they aren’t, Joyce will have to stay there for a couple more days. I’m just beyond excited for her to be home with me for these couple of days! But just look at her brother taking care of her. Hasn’t moved from her side since she got home❤️

Good evening Tripawd Family,

I’m so excited about sharing this Joy with you all. Joyce is doing SO MUCH BETTER. She will probably be coming home tomorrow. My little baby is back on the way to healing. Thank you for all of your guys support and love. Here’s this image of when I went to visit her earlier. She gave me a warm hug and I want to transmit it to all of you. 

Hi Everyone, Good afternoon. I had to rush Joyce to the vet this morning because the sight was seeping a pinkish fluid. Last night it got very irritated and this morning it got redder and start discharging a liquid. What can I say… I was very scared and concerned. I hate to see my little girl go through this. The vet says he thinks it may be the same infection that lead to her amputation. Joyce will be staying at the vet until it is safe to bring her back home. I’m trying to be strong, I feel in my bones that she will be okay. It just killed me to see her unable to get up this morning after she was hopping around couple days ago. Any emotional support is appreciated! If you have guys have gone through similar situations please share it with me. Please keep us in your prayers. I will keep you guys updated on her well being.

Hi everyone! As promised here is part 1 of Joyce’s story in video form. Part 2 will contain her amputation story. I am still in the process of recording footage since her surgery happened couple days ago. Thank You everyone who has shown their support, Joyce and I are extremely thankful!

Joyce is a happy husky who is only 1.

On December 31st-January 1st, my girly ran out of our house due to the fireworks. She went on a 2 day journey away from me, in this journey she was hit by a car. I posted her all over my community, social media, everywhere!!! I received a call from a number I didn’t know, it was one of my neighbors telling me that they had my furry baby. Animal control arrived before I did, Officer Cherry told me her leg was severely broken. I rushed her to the emergency room, there it was determined that it was broken as speculated. Given a quote of almost $6,000 for surgery, I took her to her primary vet because I didn’t have the funds. I proceeded with the surgery at her primary vet for half of the price. The biggest concern was that her fracture was open wound, and an infection could be all over the leg. Surgery took place Friday, 4th of January. Everything went great, plates and screws were put in place to reunite the bone. A week went by everything was going great, by the time it was her second week check up everything went downhill… I dropped her off with four legs… only to be given back to me with three legs. It turns out that our biggest fear came true. The infection was not allowing the bone to reunite nor form soft tissue. The only option at that point was to get her leg amputated if I still wanted my baby in my life. She’s being kept by her vet  to keep her under surveillance. She comes home today, January 18th around 6p.m. I’m scared that I would be good enough for her. Please leave any tips and what to expect when bringing home a tripawd. I’m currently working on a video of her story, I’ll be sharing that with you guys soon.
