Motown update

Greetings from our main man, Motown.

Our veterinary specialists arranged for his transfer this week from their Ontario office to Carlsbad, where their orthopedic surgeon could perform his surgery.

His foster mom, Krystal, was by his side when he left, and we overheard a little exchange between them. Krystal: “Can You Do it?” Motown: “I’ll Keep Holding On.” Krystal: “I’ll Be There.” And off he went.

Motown did well during his surgery yesterday. What the doctor discovered, however, was one of the worst shoulder injuries he had ever seen. He told us that a severe twisting injury must have caused the terrible trauma to Motown’s shoulder.

We’re optimistic that Motown will be pain free going forward. The doctor isn’t sure if Motown's mobility will improve, but if he’s pain free, he can live very well with some mobility limitations.

He had a good night last night, his appetite is good, and he’s walking with the aid of a sling.

Tomorrow he comes back to Ontario, where he’ll be ready to go home with his foster parents, Krystal and Eric.
