| Finally, Basil's Splint is off Seems as if it was more like 6 months, but this morning Basil has his cast removed and an X-Ray taken of his leg. It looks great. He can now start going for slow 5 minute walks on a leash, and next week the time can lengthen. He has to be kept quiet with no running or Jumping for at least another month, and in 6 weeks he will go back for a final X-Ray to ensure complete healing. He has some sores on the leg where the splint rubbed, but that will clear up. Hardest part will be to keep him from licking and biting the sore areas. so he has a soft collar and a soft boot on. |

| Glad to hear Basil's splint is off! He'll be back to Yorkie antics with his brother in no time. They are such little cuties.

| Glad to hear things are looking up for Basil. I bet he can't wait to run and play, poor little guy it's so hard to keep them quiet.

| He was smiling a bit on his first 5 minute walk. He got a bit tired. Outside from where his leg was shaved and the few sores, his leg looks perfect! His brother is in his face and can't understand why we will not let Basil out to play and run with him. |

| Great news about Basil. I wouldn't want to be in your shoes trying to keep him from running, jumping, and playing.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | My goodness that little guy has been through so much, lol, he really is going to be the 6 million dollar dog, bionic legs and all! Steve, I've got to say, I love your attitude, you seem to take it all in stride, and never complain "why me?" You set a good example for the rest of us!
