I am happy to report that the Oz man is really doing well today! He is able to stand, but can only bear weight for short periods. He is his yappy little self and running me ragged trying to figure out what he is wanting. He cracks me up! This one is definitely true to his breed.....
Anyway....here are some pics I just took. I had to work quickly and did not get great shots as he only stands for short bursts.....At least you can see how he is standing and walking. Also, the one pic shows where the growth was removed from his side and you can also see where he has that kyphosis of his spine.
He is a total doll!! I have a feeling that since he was in pain for so long, this is nothing compared to that and that is why he is recovering so well....that plus the fact he is a spunky little terrier! And, the specialist who did the surgery is phenomenal. He is a well respected Board Certified surgeon, and we have used him before with great results for our pups. He did his best to keep the incisions as small as possible and tried to avoid cutting too much of the muscle so that the recovery will be shorter.
Thanks to all of you for thinking about him!!
