| oh sweet sweet boy- my tummy did a loop when i saw his poor leg- I think they are not doing casts lately so that he is able to walk more and thus rehabilitate faster (i think maybe Crystal- Ellie May- was saying this in another thread). Layla has lp and i hope and hope she doesn't need surgery when i see threads like this but i am SO glad he is being a trooper Such a good boy! |

| Great news. Bless those little knees. You are going to have one more rotten baby after 6 weeks. He will deserve to be spoiled. Good luck in his recovery. |

He's been great at eating. Albeit I did break down last night and made him chicken. lol. But this morning I mixed it with his food and he just about all of it. Yesterday he drank a bunch of water. He seemed to improve quite a bit after this too. He's definitely showing signs of improving. Good luck with Cassi's appt. I hope that all goes well and once she is in recovery I know you will be so relieved and glad that you did it.

| Getting better! Hot Rod is getting better as I type. He's got a good appetite and is drinking water. He's able to hobble around his pad to potty. Still not wanting to use his leg. The surgeons office said that at his 2 week checkup, he may or may not be using it still. It depends on the dog. He did give himself a very thorough bath (as well as he could) last night. I laid on the floor with him in his crate last night to 4:30 am watching him. He allowed me to wash his little face today and comb out his hair on his face. So he's improving as the hours are going by. I have been feeding him while he's in his crate lying down but I am going to see if he will be able to balance himself tonight.

| hmmmm....I am wondering why an Ortho Vet didn't do the cut and pin procedure for the LP. When Roxy went in for hers, she had an Ortho Vet do the surgery, and it was explained that she would be doing the cut and pin, and I was paying more. However, during surgery, the Dr. felt that the way Roxy's legs were, that just deepening the groove and tightening the ligaments that she would do fine....Well, I was a little upset, but ok, that was her judgement. BUT at the 6 week checkup her left leg was luxating again, so back for surgery this time to do the cut and pin. And around the 6 month mark, her right leg was luxating again... I am not saying all this to scare or freak you, but this is what happened to us, so I just wanted to share |
