Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | HAHA WHAT A GOOD Boy !! I didn't even know he had surgery Mike and watching him lookin around for an escape was so cute - I can just hear his thoughts........."Sheesh - been walkin and walkin going nowhere ..and daddy keeps telling me 'good boy' ..... did daddy lose his mind ? ....Where's the snow ? The trees .....the MOOSE ? I gotta get outta here and do some REAL walkin - I'll show him a good boy"! |

I naively thought his recovery period was supposed to be 2 months, but it is two months of almost no activity and FOUR more months of physical therapy. What messed me up was how Jack recovered after his surgery. He was 100 percent the day he got his cast off, but his situation was different. He had been hobbling around on 3 legs for who knows how long and already had scar tissue built up in place of the meniscus they removed. Eddie doesn't. He's got to recover slower. And Villette, LOL! I think that's EXACTLY what Eddie was thinking. What I need to do is get a stuffed moose to put behind him!

| very cute! He really is a sneaky kid! hahah Great to see he is recovering well! Here is a link to some videos of Teddy Bear when he was doing the treadmill. I don't think the way they rig theirs, the pups can do what he did....you might want to share it with your physical therapist. There is a thing across the top and the leash that comes straight down is attached to it...not sure if that is clear. The last video is the best. Yorkie Haven Rescue

They released the muscle and redid the knee that was pretty out of whack. He had to go to therapy for a few months after...and while his legs will never be perfect, his right ankle and knee now bend enough that he can put his foot flat on the ground........and he has toenails! Teddy does also have hip dysplasia, but he is small and may never have issues with his hips. He plays with the other pups and is a happy boy!

| Looks like Eddie is on his way to recovery! Isn't it funny how they figure out how to BEAT (or avoid) the treadmill???? When Shelby was in PT she would start walking and then when she got to the front, she would sit down and ride it all the way to the back.... and then start walking again.... It is amazing how smart these little dogs are!

| He's so lucky! You have got to be the best Yorkie owned person I have ever met. You clearly provide only the best for your little boy. It warms my heart to see such love and dedication.

Oh I don't think he is trying to avoid the treadmill - Eddie is just very goal-oriented and doesn't understand the objective. He thinks he needs to really get somewhere!LOL Great news about his progress Mike! Thanks for the video! I love that dog! It is always fun to see what he is going to be into next! | |
