I so hope you get a wonderful birthday gift tomorrow..............that they found the problem and it's cureable. This is so unfair, he's only 5. He should be jumping around like a nut. Running full speed. Leaning on you til you fall over.
When Diamond had her front leg amp, she never really was able to do the walk around the whole field again. I was hoping that she could build up endurance. However I want to be fair, I only had 6 months and she was 12.
But don't be surprised if the length of his activities never reach the level it was before. It does take a lot more energy to hope on one front leg.
I am so thrilled that Tempo is doing well!
John and Ramona, You have my deepest sympathies. Even when they've had a good long life, it doesn't ease the pain of loss. And to lose two just days apart, I don't know how you can handle it. I was a basket case losing two 2 months apart.
Oh Jane!!!!!

If it were last week, I would have been there for you like you've been for me.
God speed Shelby, your sister Twisty is waiting for you.
That's why I'm leaving VPI. One dog does have to stay with them. She's had several things over the years. But my two younger ones are going with Healthy Paws.
Unfortunately my Diamond did get OS in another leg, but it was her back leg.
Another thing that it could be is stitches being pulled on the inside. They're disolvable but take a very long time to disolve. Also phantom pain as someone else mentioned.
I have not found pet insurance to be vet specific. They cover expenses depending on the amount, what you're paying for or what their schedule is.
There is another thread somewhere regarding "is it worth it". If it's not here in H&M Try searching EVERYTHING ELSE.
Some people don't think it's worth it or they just put aside money for emegencies. But I am so glad I do have it. I'm in the process of switching from VPI to Healthy Paw for 2 of my 3. The third has been around for 8 yrs so has too many pre-existing conditions now. She'll stay with VPI.
