 Still waiting to learn more.
It's three days since his ACL ruptured, no surgery yet. We are waiting to hear back from the Ortho.
I've learned that pard of the problem is a genetic defect where his knee iis poorly aligned, causing all his stress to be on the ACL. His lower leg joins the knee far forward of where it should and this introduces a lot of torque to the joint.
He's still hobbling around on three legs and I'm supposed to keep him from doing anything. I'm trying to figure out how / if I am to build ramps to the bed and couch to make his life easier. He brought me his ball in the middle of the night last night. I had no idea what to do. He's bored and this is day 3 of sitting here doing nothing. He's going to get a lot more of nothing after the surgery. He's always been a very active guy with a quick mind. I don't know how we are going to do this.
Anyone here have any tips on entertaining an immobile Yorkie? |
