Rosen doing very well!

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 update

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.

 

Meet Rosen

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.

Bayley cleared to run around!

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 moves to foster home

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!

 

Bayley sends a pupdate

Hi my name is Bayley! I’m a very sweet boy with a great disposition. I’ve been through a lot and no matter what I’m always happy to make friends. When GRC first found me I couldn’t use my back legs but they are taking care of me now and they got me surgery to fix them. I can stand now for short periods of time and I’m getting better every day. My favorite things are people, cuddles and food. I might like to play catch but I just can’t do that yet. I hope I can find my forever home soon.

 

 

Bayley leaves orthopedic vet facility

Bayley moved to his regular vet yesterday for continued care. He is such an amazing young dog and is improving each day. He is working on getting his urination under control and using his sling to learn how to walk. Bayley doesn’t realize he is hurt and wants to run. His vet tech says he is the greatest dog ever!
