We go to the vet tomorrow for his last puppy shots, so she will recheck those sore areas. |
Day 3? That's wonderful!
I'm not sure about the swelling - it probably would be for the first couple of days, but might go down after that. Alexander had a torn ligament many, many years ago and I can recall only a little of the details.
But with 3 days down, that's a great sign. Praying he's on the final healing stretch now.
