Of course you do say one step at a time..and maybe he knows you well enough to know that you know he means exactly that. I just hope your partner knows it!
Very happy that she is doing well. |
If I didn't have a vet who is a very skilled surgeon with 33 years of experience and who is a professor of veterinary medicine who trains and mentors vet students at the University of Illinois, then I'd definitely go with a board certified orthopedic surgeon. This is an exception to the rule due to my location in a Vet College town, so everyone reading this, SEE A BOARD-CERTIFIED SURGEON FOR ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY ON YOUR YORKIE.
Now that I got that disclaimer out of the way, yes, Walter is on board with Bella's rehabilitation, and there will be absolutely no outdoor leash activity (Bella goes crazy and pulls like a demon outdoors), or jumping on and off couches and beds for Bella until she is fully recuperated.
