Nutmeg is still here. Long overdue update. She still has disabled legs due to negligence. She’s very happy here now going on 5 years. Jaxon on the right swears he didn’t eat the paper.

This is nutmeg and Sadie as a baby. Sweet nutmeg was a normal dog and was returned to me emaciated and 2 broken legs at 5 years old. She is very happy living with us has all her weight back and has problems walking but is a happy dog.

Nutmeg update: the previous family asked to see nutmeg since they were in town. Of course I was hesitant but realized how nutmeg was taken suddenly from the kids so my daughter and I thought this could be closure for the family. The more and more I learn what happens the more I come to the conclusion that they just didn’t know how to help nutmeg when their vet instructed them to do the wrong thing for nutmeg. They never raised a dog before. Remember nutmeg was a very happy energetic dog with them for the first 4 years until she became injured and their vet misguiding them. Nutmeg after a 1 1/2 years was very happy to see them. Nutmeg smiled and walked for them. She was very excited to see the family. It doesn’t matter how much time passes dogs remember their family. It was emotional for both parties. It gave them closure. Nutmeg is happy with us but she was happy to see her old family. I got permission to post their pics.

Another update: my vet is trying to find someone to make custom splints for her front legs. If anyone on here knows of any PT or vet that makes them this will make nutmeg be able to be a normal dog and walk.

She loves my daughter so much. This is her reaction when she left the car.

My dogs take turns to get a puppacino. Nutmeg’s turn. You can see her front paws sideways in this pic. This is why she will need splints. It will help her walk. She’s a happy dog!

Nutmeg update: chillin by the pool. She walked up there on her own. Still saving money to buy her custom splints for front legs. But she’s happy.

She loved going in the wagon. Happy day today.

Nutmeg Update: she has no desire to walk. I had an idea get the leash and see if she will walk that way. We put the leash lightly on her and she walked a short distance but walked. FYI she’s still on steroids which ruined her coat and bloated her out. She doesn’t eat much so we know it’s the steroids. We’ve tried weaning her off but she isn’t good without her steroids. We hate having her on those long term not good for her but we’ve tried many times. She will be getting more bloodwork done to see if she’s still anemic. For now she’s living her best life the best she can.

Nutmeg Update: sorry it’s been awhile. I had surgery and was recovering. Nutmeg gained all her weight back. We reduced her steroids to only 1/2 a pill a day. She is still on gabapentin, iron, folate. She goes in tomorrow to get blood
Work to see how her red blood cells are doing. She over heats very easily so she is very happy shaved. We can see under her skin she has some very dry spots. She’s eating well. We still give her open farm kibble with open fa stew and pumpkin. She eats out of her paper bowl. She will only eat out of a paper bowl.

Nutmeg update: she is now on more gabapentin and started on steroids. She is doing so well on steroids. She’s walking a little better, more alert. He said the paw pads are thick due to not walking. I just hope when we wean her off steroids she doesn’t go back the way she was. Photo credit: Caitlin Gresham
