Hot Rod's Home!!! [B]Warning-graphic picture[/B]
 

He's home, he's home! Yay!:happyboun:happyboun:happyboun

We got to pick him up at 11:00 am and the doctor came in and spoke with us and answered all of our questions. He re-emphasized keeping him still for 6 weeks.

The surgery went very well and smoothly. He made the groove in his knee cap deeper and tightened the ligaments. The dr believes that with proper aftercare he should be good to go with no more issues. He also believes that the leg will be okay as it is and that he might still walk with the leg out but eventually it will be fine. He goes back in 2 weeks to have his stitches taken out.

When the tech brought him in he jumped right into my arms but wouldn't kiss me at all :(. He gave daddy kisses though :rolleyes: lol.

sorry I didn't post earlier but I have holding him for the last couple of hours.:D Poor Maggie May, she was soooo excited to see him but he just wanted to be quiet and actually snapped at her. She just left him alone. I tried to get her to lay on the sofa with us but she went to the chair and went to sleep. She is now in between my arms as I am typing. lol.

Thank you all again for all of your well wishes and prayers, they meant a lot and got me through this stressful time. :) Here are a couple of pictures.

Oh... baby boy! Good to see you home, and great news from your dr!!!!

I hope you heal fast and pain free!

Yay!! Hot Rod's home! He looks so comfy all snuggled up to mommy. I will pray for a quick recovery! Did the doctor have any recommendations on HOW to keep him still for 6 weeks?

BTW, I love your yorkie necklace!

Good Boy Hot Rod...now Mommy can calm down!:p

So glad Hot Rod is home!!! He is on his way to a fast recovery!!!

Welcome home Hot Rod! Mommie must be so happy to have you back. Wow, for 6 weeks...that's a long time, but it's amazing how these little guys heal so quickly. Now (soon) it's a matter of how to keep him from running around everywhere!:D

YEA!! so glad to hear HR is home and doing well!! :hug:

Oh Hot Rod I am sooooo happy baby boy to see you home and in your mama's arms. That's where he wants to be you can tell. He feels safe and warm and at home.

Keep us posted on how he is doing...so happy that he pulled through this OK. :D

welcome home sweetie! rest well and follow the doctor's orders and you'll be feeling better very soon.

Awwww look at him:( My heart sank when I saw his leg. Poor baby.
I wonder what he must think. I am sure you have a real challange
ahead of you trying to keep him quiet with a little sister around.
I wish you good luck with that.
I wish Hot Rod a very successful and speedy recovery.:getwellso


Hugs from,

Yay, I am so happy to hear that he is home now, and everything went good! Hope he has a fast recovery and be back to himself very soon. I bet you are soo happy to have him home.

Glad to hear he is home with you now and resting. Does he have a fentanyl patch and pain meds? those "should" keep him a little quieter for the next few days (i say should because, well, we all know yorkies lol). As for ways to keep him quiet, we always recommend a crate or x-pen. however if he bounces around in his ex-pen then it is no good. The less movement the better, besides his 3 walks a day to go potty. with little dogs we also recommend doggie carriers if the owners like to have the dog with them all the time and if the dog tolerates them.
