Hi, I just wanted to give everyone an update on Archie. He has been doing fairly well. I take him in every week to get his cast changed and the vet tells us that the surgery site is looking good and he hasn't developed any sores under his splint. They don't know how the bones are healing as he hasn't had any x-rays since the surgery. At his 6 week check up they will take new x-rays so we are hoping and praying that the bones are healing. The hard part now is keeping him still. He is still just a puppy so he has so much energy! Taking him around the neighborhood in his stroller has been working fairly well to entertain him, however he throws a fit anytime we walk by other dogs and kids playing in their yards. He doesn't understand why he is strapped down to a stroller when everyone else is having fun.
Thank you everyone for keeping Archie in your thoughts and prayers. Also, thank you for sharing stories of your own yorkies going through similar surgeries. It helps to hear other's stories, and to know how resilient your babies have been. It gives me hope during Archie's recovery period. |
