Post Op. 57 days!

I had my last 15 minutes on the aquatic treadmill. No problems!

I'll be taking 2 15 minute walks a day for the next 2 weeks, then I get to be myself again. I'll be cleared to run & play and be the overall nut I was designed to be.

I'm so excited.


Ciao!

Post Op. 36 days. X-ray day!

I have had my x-rays and things look really good. The fracture the vet created to center my patella is healing nicely. My patella is dead center, right where it should be.

I do have one pin that has slipped a tiny bit, but as long as it doesn't move from where it's at now there's no cause to worry.

I spent 15 minutes on the aquatic treadmill today and I received a lot of treats to keep me moving in the right direction. Yum!

The best news of all, I've been cleared to start taking regular walks again. Yay!

Ciao!

Post Op. Day 29

Back to the Water:

Yesterday I was back on the aquatic treadmill. Next week x-rays.

Post Op. Day 22 - Aquatic Treadmill Day

Today I went for my first walk on the aquatic treadmill. It was a little confusing at first. Then it was a little wet. Since the water was warm and I was getting treats I decided to just go with the flow.

Post Op. Day 16

• My fur is slowly growing in.
• My parents allow me to walk a little.
• No Running.
• No Jumping.
• No Stairs.
• No Fun!

Next week Aqua Treadmill! Hopefully my parents will take some video.

Post Op. Day 8

Looking a little better

One week after coming home. I've had cold laser and electrical stimulation therapy. My incision is looking much better.

My shaved butt.

Look, my ears are up!

Post - Op. Day 1

Can you tell how miserable I am?!

Back Home

I hurt.

I have a large incision on my leg and require ice packs 2-3 times a day.

I'm on Tramadol and Novox.

I'm not allowed to be myself. Even if I wanted to I'm not allowed to run, jump, climb stairs, or walk on my hind legs like I usually do when good food is near by.

10 weeks of recovery ahead including the cold laser, water treadmill and electrical stimulation.

Boy I can't wait for week 11.

Oh no surgery!

I'm going under the knife today.
