Good update!

 

I propose a new nickname - Aiden 1-5! :lol

:lol He's ok with that!

 

Our 15 toe boy is doing great. The incision looks really good, is healing well, there is just a bit of a bandage irritation on the knuckle of the toe next to the ghost toe, but all-in-all our doc is pleased. We return next week for suture removal and new wrappings. :thumbs-up Aiden is such a gift: he skipped into clinic, schmoozed with everyone, after his exam he wagged at the vet when she took him back for bandaging, skipped into the reception area behind the desk to see if the girls had any treats. Our vet said she had to wake him up when she was done bandaging him :rofl Aiden 1-5! I love this dog.

I had a patient at Rancho Los Amigos. He had accidentally cut his ankle on a metal milk crate {NOT GOOD} THEN while they were working on him, they knocked over one of those big rolling carts {craftsman tool type, used for crash carts etc} and lost a toe. We then got him at Rancho with a "healing" cast on. This poor guy had been in serious pain from the start. He was seen in our Thursday out pt clinic and the Chief of Staff had me take off the cast as the residents all headed off to do rounds. WELL when I got that cast off {too thick for the cast shears and too wet and soft for the cast saw.} I paged the chief and told him SOMEBODY needed to back to the clinic. I NEVER met a HAPPIER person have a below knee amputation in my life. He woke up and was so happy the PAIN was gone.

 

Your pup may not be able to verbalize happy, but he will be

Aiden 1-5 - how is the suture removal?

Good progress. The majority of the sutures were removed and Aiden 1-5 is now sporting a bandage that matches his brindles: orange and brown stripes. We'll go back next week and hopefully that will be it.

 

We are soo over this toe :french Thank you for asking about my young man!

Glad Aiden is healing well. Orange and brown stripes, cool! We haven't seen that color combo -- works for Halloween month too! :)

 

Our nearly 15 year young broodie has been minus an outside digit (left front, from an untreatable diagnosis) for several years. Surgeon did a great job removing the digit high enough so it wouldn't touch/rub the ground when walking. She's still doing well during walks, front leg lifts, etc. She's a tad more sensitive on that paw (phantom nerves) but is so much better than before.

 

Positive thoughts for Aiden's quick recovery. :beatheart

A tigger bandage for a tigger dog!

 

Aiden's surgery is now in three sleeps, which is how I've been explaining to him what's going to happen.

But these are human sleeps. For a greyhound, the same time span would be approximately thirtylebben sleeps.
