ripley488 Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 OSU calls me twice a day with updates & so far so good. I am told is doing much better than expected & he walks on his leg just fine (when on a floor with traction.) His incision is clean & he has not bothered it at all. They tried an e-collar on him, but he pulled it off twice. Since he is leaving it alone he has not needed it. He is being released tomorrow at 2pm - that is the appt time anyway. He will be on several meds & will come with his sling for use on slick floors if needed. They will go over everything else with me tomorrow. Tonight the xpen (aka Puppy Condo) will go back up. I don't know how excited Lincoln will be to call it home again, but that is where he can be found for at least the first month of his recooperation. Thanks for everyones continued support.

Guest trevdog Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Keep in mind as soon as he starts feeling better, he's going to want to bounce around like his normal puppy self. Ask about ways to help keep him subdued if possible, so he can heal faster. The xpen will help but he may need some meds if possible....

Patsy Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 "Think calming thoughts and take the nice pill, Lincoln" What great news to read. Perhaps something nice in boxers to keep him away from his stitches when they start to itch?

GreyPoopon Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Way to go Lincoln! It's amazing what surgeons can do these days--I thought it was wonderful that Cora was up on her broken leg so soon after surgery, but rebounding from a hip replacement is even more fantastic.
