| Frodo broke his leg! :( Frodo broke his front right leg yesterday in TWO places! We were going for a walk and he decided to be a bold boy and jumped from a platform over 5 feet tall instead of going down the stairs. I saw him approach the platform out of the corner of the eye and in the second it took for me to turn and face him, he just JUMPED!! I was too far to try and catch him, and he immediately began yelping after he was on the ground. So I rushed him to the vet and now, he's got a cast and splinter around his leg The vet was great and after taking a full-body x-ray, said he would be fine and that he would have to be on a strict regimen of no exercise and minimal movement for 6-8 weeks. He's only been in our house for 3 months and he's already has his first major accident - I feel so horrible!! No doubt he is and will be getting lots of TLC and attention! The huge yellow thing in the picture is his cast - he's coping with it okay but he hates it!! |

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | Frodo Oh gosh. Puppy hugs to you both. I am sorry that happened. Lex jumped out of my daughters arms on Friday night and hurt his back leg. I could have sworn that something had broken. Fortunately, it wasn't. I am so sorry for poor Frodo. It's very hard to keep these little guys down but they seem to heal very fast. After a few days once he gets used to the cast you will see that he forgets it's there and wants to do his normal thing. My Shih after having surgery was in a cast and after three or four days he was back to running like a champ. He adapted to his cast. Good luck and hugs to you both.

| Awwww, poor little Frodo! Love the name, hate the fact he broke his poor little leg. Wosie broke hers at 5 months old slipping off the bed backwards. Landed funny, I guess. Keeping them quiet is quite the challenge. I got a front pack for her and carried her everywhere. That did the trick pretty well. Good luck!
