RileysLegacy Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 He's about the same. His shoulder & leg don't appear to be swollen, but his paw is still filled w fluid. He is putting a small amount of weight on the leg, maybe 50% of time? He still would like to live outside but I finally moved off the couch & we slept upstairs in the new AC we installed just for him (his daddy carried him up & down). Thanks for asking about him!!!

marion Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Hi Lucy, I have read your thread about your sweet Riley. I suppose that he has a tendon injury and the purple colour in the leg can be due to a severe traumatism in the upper area. Blood vessels got destroyed and the fluid can be some blood running down the leg and giving the purple colour. Ivy had that once.I personally would not give too many meds as they often mask the real problem and can make the hound confident to move more than he should. I wish you luck and hope that your sweet boy will get back to his normal cute self soon... Greetings, Marion and Soldi Quote -------------------------------------------- Marion, Ivy & Soldi Perseverance is not a long race... it is many short races one after another.

RileysLegacy Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 Hi Camille, thanks for asking about Riley! He is doing ok. He is still holding the leg up with it curled under when standing, but does put some weight on it some of the time when walking. He is getting good at doing things on 3 legs. He has also been very, very tired, which I hope is his body healing. I am trying to keep in mind how traumatic this was for him, and how far he has come. I am sure it will be awhile longer before he is back to normal. I can't wait to take him for a walk again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FreddyGirl Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Lucy, I just encountered this thread and my heart has been breaking for you. I have just read every one of your posts and have been holding my breath to see how he faired. Thank Goodness, Riley, the trooper that he seems to be, is on the mend. How frightening this must have been. Sending best wishes that he continues to heal nicely. Nancy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
