Thanks, everybody. Kathy, Eddie's leg seems to be doing real well. Got his stitches out last week and vet said it looked like his recovery was right on track. He's on limited exercise for 6-8 weeks total, and he's 3 weeks into that. So 5 minute walks max, 2-3 times a day.

Some days seem better than others. He'll walk without limping an entire day, then the next day he'll limp a few times. He probably walks on it without limping about 80 percent of the time. I'm not sure if it's my imagination or not, but the leg almost seems like it splays a little bit more than it used to. Like it pushes out to the side a little more. Hopefully, that's just part of the healing.

His next appointment is Jan. 6, which will be 6 weeks since surgery. I would hope by then that he's walking pretty darn well.
