My Furbaby Tusk


This is from a few years ago, but he looks so cute here!  He has torn his ACL and now has to have surgery to repair it.  We are not sure how it happened.  The Vet thinks it was from jumping up on the bed.  Now, my poor furbaby is hobbling around on 3 legs.  We have to take him out the front door to go potty.  He can't go out the backdoor due to the deck and stairs.  He loves to sleep inbetween us and we have to pick him up to place him on the bed.  He is a pitiful soul right now.

After the surgery, we have 2 months of rehab.  I have no idea how doggie rehab works but we are about to find out.  Please keep my furbaby in your thoughts as he goes through this surgery.  We think the surgery will be next week.  Right now he is on doggie antibotics and pain meds. He has another vet appointment to check his leg and schedule the surgery.

Poor little guy! I worry about Zachary because he has flying dog syndrome and he's so small and so old! You'll have to know how doggie rehab goes!

Vickie, I am just so upset about Tusk! I do KNOW a thing or two about knee surgery, and it isn't any fun-as you well know watching me through all mine. Give him hugs and kisses from his Auntie and the little menance! Hugs to you and Mark as well, I know you are worried sick.
