Now this pup just had surgery how long ago? It takes time for the meds to kick in and I am almost positive the doc gave her some steroids to give the pup to stop the swelling. After a surgery like this there is a lot of swelling. And she has to give this pup some time to recup. The surgeons usually say 8 weeks crate rest for spinal or crevical surgery. I have gone through all of this so I am here to give you any answers I can. Just ask away and I will get right back to you. Just for right now let your friend know this pup needs time and bed/crate rest. Sending healing thoughts for this baby.
Wow I am so sorry that your little guy was injured so badly. Glad to hear that he is making progress. I know these things take time. I appreciate you sharing your story. I will pass it on.

Thank you.
