Hi all. Quick update.
Reese has now seen another vet who told us he has extremely soft bones. (Same story) He would be very confident his bones would not hold the equipment that would be needed and he did not feel it was his best option. There was a vetinary nurse there thaa had taken the same treatment plan on her puppy a few years ago and it had all worked out great.
The vet looked at the break and checked the healing and has said he is doing incredibly well so it looks like he may be all okay. We will have to be so careful of him his whole life because of his soft bones but he is THE most well behaved little boy ever. He loves to play but is so calm about it and is just so lovely. He is fine not running about and much prefers hugs and snuggles. He is also totally fine about being alone if we have to run errands etc. He sleeps all night and goes on his pads perfectly. We were also trying to learn sit while sitting on the soft bedding yesterday and even though it was only for about 3 minutes he was getting it so well. He will be such a clever boy!
He is back to this vet on Wednesday to check it and will be going twice a week to have it looked at to make sure all is okay but he is totally confident all will heal great, he just won't be able to jump or run much ever.
Thank you all so much for your help and advice. I actually live in the UK and so don't have the board certified thing exactly but went to our sort of equivalent. You all helped me soo much! I will continue to update! |
