Recommended Posts

Good thoughts for an uneventful and full recovery for the Sprout :)

:hope for a quick, uneventful recovery for Sprout.

 

My 14-year-old Bichon had her ACL repaired last November. Our only problem was getting her to leave the incision alone. We finally had to get her a Bite-Not collar. (She could still get at it with an E-collar.) She healed up great. The only thing I've noticed is that she can't jump up as well as before and she doesn't squat as low to pee.

We've been to visit him :wub: He was asleep when we first arrived so we went to look at a cockerel who'd had an op on his head :unsure: :rolleyes: Then we went back to Sprouts 'ward' and he was awake, to a degree :wub: He needed to come out of his kennel anyway because he'd done a widdle in there so we had a bit of a tickle whilst the nurse changed his bedding

 

Woe is The Sprout

Back in his kennel with a yellow duck (from home)

He was in pretty good spirits actually, wagging his tail and looking around to see which other dogs were still in the top kennels. Just before we put him back in the kennel though, he went and stood at the door of the 'ward' to tell us he was ready to go home now thanks ( :( ) but as soon as he went back into his kennel, he was spark out and I suspect he'll stay that way for the night now. They'll offer him some food later and I've arranged to phone in the morning to arrange a time to collect him tomorrow afternoon :)

Whew!! I got this whole thread, from nerves to naps, in one go! Glad Sprout is resting, if not entirely comfy at least safe and in good hands, 'til he can be collected for home. I'm just guessing his humans are "spark out" right now, themselves!

I believe that boy can make every hair on his body wilty to make himself look more pitiful! :wub:

 

Ruby wishes him a quick recovery, like she had from her knee surgery. And she was 10 at the time, but healed quickly. :)

Very sorry for the delay! I've not had any internet connection till just now, from last night when I logged off :eek

 

Anyway, we collected Sprout this afternoon and he bounded (on three legs) up the stairs from the 'ward' area with me following behind on the end of his lead :lol When we got to the car, I said to OH "can you lift him in" and before another word could be uttered, Sprout had launched himself into the back seat :eek:rolleyes: He's eaten his dinner and made good use of the garden and finally at about 9pm he went to sleep.

 

I've taken some pics but I can't do anything with them till the computer has all its relevant programmes re-installed (tomorrow).

 

Thanks again for all your good wishes. We may need valium for the humans as Sprout is supposed to be on lead only walks for the next 6-8 weeks! :blink::lol He goes back for a check up at the vets next week.
