Barney's ACL surgery - 5 weeks later - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Beyond exceptional Cathy, he looks like a young pup and obviously is healing very well! Hard to believe Barney is only 5 weeks out, unbelieveable - you should be very proud of him and of yourself...GOOD JOB Barney's Mommie!

Thanks everyone! Hopefully Barney's recovery will continue to go smoothly - he has another check up at the 8 week mark and the 12 week mark. If he gets a good report after 12 weeks, he will be permitted to run and use stairs again and even jump (hopefully not off the bed though!

throb first though...

Way to go lil' man...you are now a bionic boy!

What an awesome video! Barney is such a handsome guy, and he's using that leg like a pro. Glad his recovery is going so well!

Barney could use some YT prayers. Tomorrow marks 8 weeks post surgery for a repair of a torn ligament, cartilage and repair of his patellar luxation. He has been doing amazingly well until three days ago. He is now toe-touching lame on the hind leg. He cannot walk on all four limbs, and it's terrible.

He saw the surgeon today, and at this point, the surgery is not a failure, but it is at risk of failure because he has loosened the repair. We are hoping it is a setback. He is on bed rest and metacam for two weeks and we will reassess.

It is what it is, but we are praying that he will not need to have a repeat surgery. The surgeon said I should not panic yet. Too late, I'm panicking. The poor guy even came back out to the waiting room with his doctor bag and models to talk to me some more because I was so upset. The doctor promised me before we leave the hospital, Barney will walk again.

My poor baby is just too old for this. I feel bad for him.

Barney is always in my prayers.

Taryn0405 · 03-29-2012, 07:28 PM

Cathy, so sorry to hear about little Barney. He was doing so good too, in that video one would have never known he had surgery recently!

Sending prayers and lots of puppy kisses.

I cry with you and pray for Barney and you, these are difficult times and I know how terribly hard this is for you and Barney...I know exactly how you feel. Good thoughts and lots of prayers heading your way..
