flukespad Posted December 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Sorry not been on with an update but some little terrorist opps mean terrier ate 2 phone and 1 usb cables so not been able to get on here. Well this little lad or shoud I say big lad ( my how he has grown ) has had another operation and goes back for (we hope) the final one tomorrow. He has had a tough time with a infection in the bone and had to have a pin taken out early because of it.He has been sooooooooo good through out all of these ops bless him Last Thursday he had to have all his brace removed because of problems and has been on extra strict crate rest. Just wish some would tell him that He is a smashing little lad who so badly wants to join in with all the other little ones here and just be a normal poopie. Will post some new pics later now I have new reader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flukespad Posted December 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Ok here we go in the best possible laymans terms I can do Poor little lad came out of op about 7pm tonight after major repair works due to complications We knew he was having some problems with his Ulna and the growth plate but this has caused further complications as the plate has closed up more than we had expected effecting the growth of his radius.This has also caused his bottom part of leg to twist under and upwards at an angle so for a couple of days he as not been able to put his leg to the floor. In turn this has also caused his elbow to dislocate which has put added pressure on his radius causing it to re- break He has now had the ulna cut to allow growth to continue.His elbow has been reset allowing his radius to be re broken and set again with internal pins and plates. He is coming home tomorrow for a couple of days r&r then on a strict regime of lead walks every hour and a half to make him put weight on his leg.Sadly he will have to remain on crate rest in between as I do not have the free living space in my little lounge on suite bungalow for him not to be mixing/playing with the other dogs.It is also very crucial now that he does not have an infection set in. He is also going to need water treadmill work ( and we have a pool Grrrrr thats s*d law) so will have to find out where nearest one is as have looked at prices of one and need to be a lotto winner to buy one of those I have spent the day contacting companies and other sites for fund raising and perhaps a quieter foster home. Fingers crossed his and JJ's story will be in the papers this week and have the local tv calling tomorrow to see how he is doing and to arrange to come and film them both for an appeal.Sad thing is with all that is going on with KC poor JJ has been sort of pushed to one side and I do need to get on top of his health problems as well.He is now staying with Auntie Kimber and gang and at least having a family life ,going to the beach and the nature reserve ect so I know he is being well socialised what ever happens with him. I do feel really bad at moment for putting KC through all this and have to admit after todays problems am wondering if I did make the right decison for him.Poor lad has been through so much and feel that I am not helping him maybe am tierd things will look different tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaos Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Stevie, I know that Sue and Di (Katiebob) were planning to do some fundraising for him (though I don't think it'll raise enough for a water treadmill)? Are there other events planned to help too? (sorry, I don't tend to look at the calender on here). As much as I would love to, I'm afraid here would not be a good option for foster care.... we could only offer the opposite of what he would need. Would it be possible to place him in a quiet home, perhaps with an oldie? BTW.........What is his name??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barb Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Stevie, I take Holly to hydrotherapy at Mascotts Canine Hydrotherapy near Leeds Castle and they have a water treadmill. I know it's a fair way from you but it is the only one I know that has a treadmill. Barbara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
