some pppl may remember a while back i posted on here about my dog buzz having an operation on his leg.
the operation was to remove the worn down cartilidge in his near. the operation cost £3000 and was called TPLO surgery.
after the op buzz made very slow progress and continued to be lame. he has been having physio once every two weeks which has made little difference.
anyway we took him to the vet today for a check up and the vet believs some of the pain is coming from his hip. he suspects this may be mild arthritis which is aggrevated by the cold weather.
the vet gave buzz some medicine and he seems to be doing opk and not limping.
buzz is 5 years old and loves to play and through all this we never once gave up hope. even thouigh we had to do alot to finance all the different treatments and operations.
things seem to be looking up! i know we will have to take things steady but hopefully we will get there.
so many people said we were being cruel by keeping him alive. we asked the vet if this was the case nad the vet said that buzz was happy and his problems would be sorted,
i just thank god we kept going and now there is a light at the end of that very long dark tunnel.
