iluvgreys Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 (edited) June 7th Update: Must have jinxed him with the positive update a couple of days ago. Got up this morning to discover that Sunny's leg was reddened, hot and swollen, with seepage from the lower hock area. Called the specialty vet and got him in this morning for an exam. The surgeon fortunately was there and able to take a look. He says it's not uncommon to have swelling occur, and has put the Noodle back on Clavamox for 4 weeks. After getting home and getting a meal into him and the meds, he's resting quietly and the wound has stopped seeping. Poor lil' booger. Please send him positive healing thoughts and prayers for his highest good. ************************************************************************** Sunny, the high desert rescue youngster (2) is making good progress! Surgeon was happy with his 4-week post surgery x-rays of the leg and his cast is now off permanently. He's got about 5 small pressure sores that need to get healed up, so still has to be watched carefully, and/or wear an e-collar to limit Mr. Licky Lou. Am doing range of motion therapy on the leg, since his joints are quite stiff. All in all, I'm very encouraged! We'll return for a recheck in 2 weeks, have repeat x-rays around the 4th of July, and hopefully he'll then be ready to attempt stairs. Once he can do stairs, he's got a lovely adopter who's anxious to bring him home. Sunny without the cast... in a lovely Bite Not collar and baby sock His favorite pillow...

Guest Vinnie Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 :wub: Sunny! So glad to hear he has his cast off. I'll bet his new home is very excited too. What wonderful news and love the pix, especially the pillow shot. :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaGreys Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Such great news. This guy is such a doll. I know you have fosters in and out but I would think this one is going to be tough for you to let go of. I'm so happy to hear he'll have a forever home when he's ready. Do you think his adopter will keep in touch? PLEASE give him a very bog hug from us Quote Missing my little Misty who took a huge piece of my heart with her on 5/2/09, and Ekko, on 6/28/12 For the sick, the lost, and the homeless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
