Thank you again so much. I agree, the legs look fantastic. There is no bruising, very little swelling and they didn't even shave *that* much hair! The surgeon is just phenomenal. His clinic is actually a national referral center for several orthopedic surgeries. The quicker the surgery is done, the better. Not only better for the dog under anesthesia, but better for the tissue as well. When the tissue is open for surgery, there is a decrease in blood flow to the area which subsequently does more damage. I think the fact he was in and out of surgery quickly, meant less damage and therefore faster healing time!
The clinic just called to check on him. Thanks to Brooke, I was prepared for him not having a bowel movement for several days, which was something they wanted to make sure I was aware of. YT is an amazing resource, and I *honestly* don't think we could have done this without all of you!!!!! |
