They will be calling to check up on us in a month and and I will go over it in more detail then. He will also be rechecked and xrayed by my vet 8 weeks post-op. As for now, he really stressed no jumping, which is why he has to stay on a leash because he springs up on the couch and back off in the blink of an eye!!
It's so nice to have you and Brooke a week ahead of me  |
I just read Brooke's thread that Tatum is getting her stitches out today. Yay for Tatum! I bet Brooke is so happy about that!!
Hopefully Hot Rod's will come out on Wed. when we go for our 2 week checkup.
I would really have preferred to see his surgeon but he's out of town this week. He was emphatic that he would be there for his 6 week visit though. Hot Rod's surgeon stressed no jumping as well and only walking enough to potty. He did say he could be a 3 x 3 area. My concern is keeping him from standing on his hinds if we make the expen smaller for him. I am trying to see about putting something on top of it to keep him from doing that. I actually sat in the pen with him the other night while he just walked around me. I think he was happy to be able to stretch some.
