He is finally getting close to recovered, and just has a little bit of physical therapy left, which is to say, taking him on progressively longer walks. He doesn't mind, as he is a big active dumb black mutt who loves you. a real sweetheart.<BR/><BR/>His friend, a grumpy old, fat corgi, is much more skeptical about this "walking" malarky, and is not at all sure he likes the idea.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, my brothers dog is a big dumb sweetheart, and it was heartbreaking to see him in the early stages of his recovery.<BR/><BR/>I hope Cabal fares as well as possible.

The hardest part was keeping him off it for the six weeks. Since cockers aren't large he didn't have to have the plate but rather has a large suture run in place of the ligament. He's fine now. :) I'm sure Cabal will be fine, but Neil and his family may be totally crazy by the time Cabal's recuperation is over!CarolAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05783839699880164411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10610763.post-2444072178819199602009-01-09T08:37:00.000-08:002009-01-09T08:37:00.000-08:00My dog has had two ACL surgeries in two years -- o...My dog has had two ACL surgeries in two years -- one on each leg. It isn't a walk in the park (disregard the pun), but with a regimen of Rymadil, gentle exercise and daily glucosimine doses, your dog will improve quickly. It took my dog about a year to recover from the first surgery when her other leg went bad. Now some four months later, she has made an even more rapid recovery. It breaks your heart, but as we were told, it can be a congenital defect. Not that it makes you feel better, but it might help to know that these things can just happen.

It worked great and had him back to leaping, swimming, running and frisbeeing in fine form. Gabe passed away last year just a few days shy of 14 (which is a long life for a lab/rottweiller mix). He had a great life partially in thanks to the surgery that gave him back the use of his leg. It was worth every penny.<BR/>hugs to you,<BR/>ShellyShelly Rae Clifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377896785919017980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10610763.post-89745261907214830302009-01-09T02:55:00.000-08:002009-01-09T02:55:00.000-08:00As a Carpal Tunnel sufferer, the saviour of your w...As a Carpal Tunnel sufferer, the saviour of your wrists is in this book:<BR/><BR/>http://www.saveyourhands.com/index.htm<BR/><BR/>I just wish I had found it before my first surgury.<BR/><BR/>On Cabal, awwwwww poooor doggy, beware with the cone though, he might do the bumping trick, or my old dog used to just walk up to a wall with it on and stand there, looking pathetic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10610763.post-63404567934912265612009-01-08T23:35:00.000-08:002009-01-08T23:35:00.000-08:00You might, if poor Cabal has to suffer the indigni...You might, if poor Cabal has to suffer the indignity of the cone/e-collar for any length of time, consider http://www.bonafido.com/page6.html<BR/><BR/>I've never tried them on our cats, but I've heard them highly recommended.laughing starhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116546534882682654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10610763.post-42509419221842454562009-01-08T11:39:00.000-08:002009-01-08T11:39:00.000-08:00Lorraine, you're hilarious.
