Buster's LP Surgery Buster had LP surgery on his right leg yesterday and the plate and pins were removed from his left leg at the same time. The plate and pins were put in during surgery back in April when he went in for LP surgery and the surgeon repaired his torn ACL instead. He then went back four weeks later to have the LP repaired. He didn't have the surgery until late yesterday afternoon but when the surgeon called last night he was confident everything went well. His ACL in the right leg wasn't torn and there wasn't any arthritis in either leg. He still carries his left leg but the surgeon thinks the surgeries will be successful once the right leg heals and the hardware is removed from the left leg. Hopefully he will be back to running and chasing squirrels and birds in no time.
