Of course, this is the third day on meds and I added a baby aspirin this morning. But he stood up earlier, and actually followed me a couple of times this am!!!! He's only using the three legs. I don't think his back right leg has ever gotten as strong as his others and he's having to rely on that now, so he's really wobbly...but he is moving around a little bit.
I tried to video tape him (mostly for the vet, but also to post here) But, of course, he was done walking by the time I grabbed the camera. DH tried to encourage him with goodies, but we don't want to push him too much.
These are just the ramblings of a worried mama, but if he's showing improvement I think thats a sign that it probably isn't infection? Don't want to rule that out completely as the meds could be showing us a false picture...but I will hope. I don't want to put my boy through another surgery. |
what meds are you giving him from the vet??? if its any type of anti-inflammatory PLEASE do not give him asprin. in fact don't give him asprin at all. If it is in fact the pin and he needs to go to surgery then he should not have any asprin in his system. asprin really should not be given to dogs but i know a lot of people do because they think its ok. their vet might have said its ok or they heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend..etc. asprin is a blood thinner so you really don't want him to have that if he needs surgery.
