[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 732646, member: 1963"] Oh, it's the little boy who got hurt? Poor guy. I'm glad he's a couch potato, though you and hubs will have to lift him on and off the couch for a bit after the surgery. I'm glad you have access to a vet PT clinic, water exercise will be a huge help in healing if they have it available. Ask your vet if they have cold laser, and if so, ask them to do a treatment after they close the surgical wound. I don't know how it works, but cold laser seems to help with-healing. Thomas had/has (I'm very leery of putting him under anesthesia again as he tried to croak that night after I got him home and wound up spending a few days in the hospital.) his tooth roots scaled a few times. The gums, as you can imagine, are very sore and swollen after that procedure. The last time, they used the cold laser on his gums, and he healed much faster. Best wishes to your little guy and his family, let me know how he does with the surgery, and keep me posted as his recovery progressive. Oh...be the squeaky wheel if you have to about pain management. That's a painful surgery to recover from, and as the dogs heal, they have to use the leg in order to heal properly. The vet will likely provide a strong NSAID, if that doesn't do it, don't hesitate to ask for something stronger. [/QUOTE]
