Thanks for the prayers and positive thoughts and comments. We picked up Archie last night from the hospital. It was kind of a long night for us. He was so excited to be back home, but at the same time a little out of it from everything that had been happening to him.
The surgeon said no running, jumping or excessive walking. We haven't let him do any walking in the house yet, though we have let him walk around outside a few steps to use the restroom. He doesn't quite understand what to do with his leg. The surgeon put on a splint and then wrapped it... it almost looks like a cast that they will have to change once a week.
Today he has been sleeping a lot. The surgeon said he didn't have to use the e-collar if he was on my lap and I could make sure he didn't lick or bite anything... so I'm grateful for the that because it was really bothering him overnight. I spoke to my neighbor who said she has a stroller we can use during his recovery. I am going to order one of the short leashes online to help keep him inside.
Thank you for those that have shared your experiences. It has helped us get an understanding of what to expect. Does anyone have a trick for getting a your puppy to swallow a pill? We tried hiding it in treats and food, but he quickly caught on to that scheme
