Hot Rod surger for Grade 3 LP - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Mom to Hot Rod · 03-30-2009, 11:55 AM

If you all could spare a few moments and send us some good thoughts and prayers I would really appreciate it. We saw the ortho surgeon to day and he says that Hot Rod's lp is at a grade 3 and since he has been having some issues lately he highly recommends doing the surgery quickly. He believes this is why his leg looks so bowed on the xray. So we have decided to do it tomorrow so he can start healing and feeling better.

He'll have to stay overnight so he won't be home until Wednesday sometime. It is going to be a very long couple of days! I feel good about his surgeon. He was very forthcoming and thorough and he has a yorkie as well!

He said that he may even bring her in so Hot Rod could have a playmate.

So if you send Hot Rod some good thoughts it would help tremendously! Thanks!

Good luck- I'm sure everything will be fine! Your surgeon does sound very considerate. How sweet of him to want to bring some company!

Good Luck! He will be ok. Glad you are having an Ortho Specialist do the surgery. Remember, recovery (containment) is really important

There are a few of us that have been there so if you have questions or need tips and advice, let us know

Sending good thoughts and prayers to you and Hot Rod for his surgery tomorrow....

I will keep Hot Rod in my prayer's this evening.
The surgeon sounds so nice and thoughtful too.
The surgery is happening so fast it won't give you much
time to worry, which is a good thing.

Hugs to all of you,

Thanks everyone, I just can't wait until he is back home from the surgery and he isn't even there yet!

Thanks a bunch, I am sure that I will be posting a quite a few questions! Definitely having a specialist do it. Wouldn't want something that was beyond a person's capability in case something went wrong.

Thanks, that was another reason I decided to go ahead and schedule it so I wouldn't have too long to obsess over it. I am glad that he had an opening tomorrow.
