Leo is in a foster home and doing very well. He has excellent house manners, loves his foster mom and has enjoyed meeting new people that come over. He has fully recovered from his surgery and now he its waiting for the perfect home to come along that will love him for who he is and accept his limitations that come with laryngeal paralysis which is mainly limited activity. He is a lovely dog and deserves the best!
Leo was found tied up in a homeless encampment. Initially, he was very fearful but with time and love, he has settled in nicely and is enjoying life in his foster home.
Leo was diagnosed with Laryngeal Paralysis which is a condition where a dog's windpipe fails to open correctly when breathing in. Rather than opening as it should, the sides of the windpipe are sucked into the opening. In severe cases, laryngeal paralysis can lead to suffocation, but treatment is available if caught early. Leo had a corrective surgery which was successful and he has recovered beautifully. And, we have seen a marked improvement in his energy level.
Leo is ready for adoption!
Rosen had her 1 month post TPLO operation checkup. She is ambulatory with no lameness. Her stifle is stable on palpation. Her implants look stable with no signs of infection.
Rosen had her sutures removed and the surgery site looks OK. She has been a trooper during her recovery, especially living in cone purgatory in her x-pen area and having to watch her canine bother Harry able to move about freely. It still takes 2 people to take her outside with a sling, but bathroom activity should start improving.
This sweet 3-4 year old was an owner surrender. She wanted
to play with dogs, cats and people, but we noticed that she would not place
weight on her left rear leg. Two orthopedic assessments confirmed she has
Degenerate Cruciate Disease and Bilateral Hip Dysplasia. We decided to provide
her with a TPLO to address the left knee and minimize the stress on her other
rear leg and hips. The surgeon found a complete rupture of the cranial cruciate
ligament and a tear in her medial meniscus. She was a great patient and is now resting
with her foster family.
On Thursday, 7/29, Bayley had his follow-up appointment with the Doctor who repaired his fractured leg. He was sedated and X-rays were taken. Everything looked perfect and he is doing amazingly well! All restrictions have been lifted (except playing off-leash with other dogs) and Bayley is now able to run around his yard, go for long walks and jump up and down off the couch. His foster family will now start focusing on reintroducing him to the outside world and other pups with leash training and interactions with other pups for socialization. He does not require any further follow up care with his neurologist or orthopedic specialists. Very good news -- congratulations Bayley!
Bayley is recovering beautifully from his surgery and is now in a foster home. He had a follow up appointment with his orthopedic surgeon and his recovery couldn’t be going better. Both of his legs have shown tremendous improvement and are getting stronger each day. He walks with the assistance of a sling and is able to stand on his own for short periods of time. This young boy has boundless amounts of energy and drive to get better and doesn’t realize he still needs to rest. 😊 He is enjoying many short walks a day with his sling and LOVES long walks in his doggie stroller to get him out and about. We are so pleased with how well he is doing!
