Spot got the go ahead to come home today from the vet. Not only did he get released, but the vets allowed him to walk out all on his own!!! This is amazing given he had surgery just a few days ago to correct a fractured pelvis and fractured tibula/fibula. The vet is encouraging him to go for (very) short walks daily as part of his physical therapy and he is allowed to move around the house as long as he doesn’t jump, run, or attempt the stairs. If you take a look at Spot’s x-rays I think you’ll agree with me, that he is one amazing little boy!!!
Spot is adjusting well to the new accommodations: following his foster mom and doggie foster brother Stalone, all over the house. He’s sniffed, checked out all the dog beds, and claimed his own bone that he has been carrying around the house.
Spot has a long road ahead of him, but we are SO proud of the little guy’s fighting spirit. Spot has gotten the all clear to attend adoption events from the vet, as long as he doesn’t too much walking. Spot will be getting his own chair and looks forward to meeting you soon!!
Now, Spot has a message for you!
Spot -- you're just too precious to be in pain. Hope you get better real soon so you can go have some fun!
ReplyDeleteThe way he acts you wouldn't know he's in pain (althought even with pain medication I am sure it must not feel great). He laid on a dog bed and happily chewed a rawhide most of the night. He does sleep more than normal-but generally sleeps after walking around, I think it wears him out.
ReplyDeleteHe really is very special.
