Love it!!! Last March, we adopted an 8-year old chi. He is a doll. Same thing with him. Doesnāt take much and heās tuckered. Just my speed!
Your dogs - let's see them
ohhh so cute and mine sleeps like that all the time too
I agree, just my speed also plus on vacation we own an rv and take him everywhere, believe me a āsmall oneā is SO much easier for sure in that rv.
Bertie had his surgery yesterday, thankfully only the left side needed doing but heās still in massive pain.
Last night was awful, he was crying almost constantly and couldnāt settle. He also wet a couple of times which isnāt like him at all.
Today heās lots happier, I think it was the pain meds and anaesthetic making him feel worse yesterday, but still clearly in pain.
The specialist orthopaedic vet is hopeful he will recover well but says arthritis is guaranteed at some point in his life. We have a check up tomorrow and another in a month. Complete recovery is expected to take eight weeks. The vet also assumed he was a mastiff because heās so big, 38kg at five months, no six months he turned yesterday.
So sorry for him, and hope he feels more himself soon. Give him a big pat from me and a friendly woof from my dog.
Aww, the poor dear, he is a beautiful dog. I hope that he will be able to heal properly and get lots of rest and out of pain soon. Maybe you could put him in some diapers for a few days to help for the accidents? I have heard of people doing that with their pets after situations like this. Hugs to you both.
Thanks Susan but heās been fine since the drugs the vet gave him wore off, now Iām having to trouble keeping him calm and rested.
Another eleven days and he can go for five minute lead walks
Heās very clingy with me
Iām so glad he only had to have the one side done! I know it sucks to see him in pain right now but the amount of relief you will be giving him will be worth it in the end!
I am so happy for this darling dog that he has such a wonderful Human Mum. You are a terrific woman, Allie, and all humans and animals that come into contact with you (including all of us on here) are blessed. I wish that I could give you a big hug.
Bertie pic just becauseā¦
He wanted to come out on the bike with me but sadly thatās a long way off, if itās ever going to happen at all with his joints.
Weigh in today, 27 weeks old, 39.8KG
Oh, Iām so sorry. It is horrendous when they are in any discomfort. I hope he is doing much better!!!
