Let's See Your Dogs!!

You have a real overachiever! Hope he heals up well. Such a cutie!

 

He was mostly trying to race his brother to the rabbit first.

 

I know this sibling rivalry thing!

 

On their own neither would put much chase into a rabbit. Put them together though and the like to amp each other up.

 

Oh man. A successful surgery and a speedy recovery!!!

 

Hoping he did well this morning.

 

Dropped him off a couple hours ago. Just anxiously roaming the city waiting for updates.

 

Things went well. Fixed a torn ACL and torn meniscus. Just waiting for him to wake up a bit and I can take him home!

 

Is he a dog or a running back? How soon before we can put him back in the game, coach?

Hope he heals fully!

 

Just a dog doing dog things. Ha.

Poor guy is out of commission for 8 weeks. Pretty much on "bed" rest for four weeks. We've closed off a small section of the living room and put non-slip mats down so he can't move too much and can't slip. I'll have to sleep on the couch in there with him for a while.

 

Good to hear! Hopefully, he can stay quiet as long as needed.

 

Been there, done that, twice. Right knee in December, left knee in July.

 

Hopefully we will just need to do the one.

How did your dog fare with keeping chill?

 

She did / is doing pretty well. She sleeps in the crate at night, always has, so that helps - but the first several nights we were in the living room. During waking hours she's on a leash, inside and outside. And not to wish any bad juju on your guy, but the statistics are not in your favor for not having the other knee go. Having said that, my previous Corso only blew one knee, so stats are not always right. Best wishes to you and yours.

 

Ha. Yeah. We've seen the stats. Vet says the other knee looks pretty good but, of course, it's tough to say. When I saw him do it it wasn't surprising that he tore it. So we're hoping it's more an actual freak accident and less of a bad knee issue. Hoping for the best really. Ha. Poor guy nearly died from diabetes, went blind and can now see, and then this. Too much for a little dude.

Good friends of ours have a dog that had TPLO surgery about four years ago. Super active guy and no issues with the other knee...yet.

 

While the kiddo studies for a test(tomorrow morning), Fen demands attention!

 

Growing up so fast (of course gotta get all the pics with the taco)

 

Don't let the happy face fool you. He's day three post-surgery and cranky about this cone and being confined to a small corner of the living room. He's used to be able to roam the back acre all day. A 5x5 area of the living room is frustrating him.

Other than that he's doing well. Knee and leg look good and he's putting his foot down on the ground a little.

Took his fentanyl patch off today so we'll see how he does with pain.

 

Glad he is on the mend.

 

Oh, hai!
