Much easier for hubby to hold him.
After 2 weeks, he seemed to be getting better but then it was a matter of trying to keep him from jumping and moving around too much. As the weeks progressed, it got tougher to try and keep him from activity. Hot Rod was on a strict 6 week, no activity recuperation.
He's now 4 and all the vets say that his knee is as tight as could be. 
So sorry that you are faced with dealing with this. Hugs. |
I was hoping to see you post- what grade was Hot Rod when he had his surgery? Was he "limping" bad? What made you decide to get the surgery?
