Re: Re: Trooper needs surgery

I'm sure everything will go well. Tucker had the same surgery last Friday, came home on Saturday, and by that afternoon, he was up enjoying a walk around the yard. Amazing, even right after surgery, he felt better than when he went in because the bone fragments (which the doctor described as feeling like "you had a rock in your shoe and every time you stepped down on it,it hurts)were gone.

We're lucky enough to live in Houston and have access to Gulf Coast Vet Clinic (referral clinic only with incredible specialists), so I felt very confident with their diagnosis and treatment). Every other vet we had taken him to diagnosed arthritis????

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. The biggest problem you'll probably have is Trooper wanting to do too much too soon, as our vet requires 2 weeks of only short leash-controlled outings.

P.S. IT IS expensive - 3500.00 - the husband made all kinds of remarks that we could buy one, two, three..........brand new healthy dogs for the price, but he paid the bill without cringing (too much).
