Arnott's Progress

Aug 14, 2009
2 comments

It's been 2 months since he broke his leg (paw). Today, he had a doctor's visit to check on his progress. The vet said the paw area was a bit moist (which is not a good thing) but his bones are really stable now that it is a sure sign of recovery. I always think he is a little baby but I know he is not young in dog age... That's why it takes so long to heal. As long as it's healing I'm happy. The vet changed the bandage (this is the 3rd one). It seems that his cast gets bigger everytime he goes back to the hospital. The vet said they didn't need to sedate him because he was such a good boy. He had to fast since last night (just to be sure).

Next appointment is after Labor Day. I can't wait for him to run around Central Park without this darn cast.

Arnott still has his cast on his front leg. Well, this will stay on for another 2 months. But he really got used to wearing the cast and "running". The vet said it is not recommendable for him to be too active. I only let him run around on occasions. It's hard when the weather is as beautiful as today. It's hard to say "NO RUNNING!" to his smiley face.

"I want my nightcap NOW!"

Arnott is getting used to wearing the cast (I think), though he has this look on his face "take this darn thing off from my leg!".

Somehow, when he is walking around the house with this thing on, he reminds me of a pirate - like the one with the wooden leg? It also makes funny noise. At least he still manages to make me laugh. That's a good sign I guess.

Also I have to put books under the water bowl and a little stool under his dinner bowl since he cannot really lean over to eat. Very inconvenient - but he is a survivor!

Tattoo (up close)

I wrote Arnott's name on his cast. It looks like he got a tattoo!! Also he is getting better having the cast on. We removed the red bandage from the other leg this morning.

Out on a walk

Arnott was crying and occasionally screaming last night. Hence my sleepless nights began... I guess the leg is hurting. At least he has good appetite which is a blessing.

We took him out for a short walk. The vet gave him a bootie called "MediPaw" to cover the cast. He got used to wearing the cast better towards the end, although he was "carried" around most of the walk.

Looking tired

Arnott came home this afternoon. He looks so miserable... I was gonna cry. He has to be wearing this for three months!? That sounds like forever. They gave him a bootie to wear when going out. I don't know how he is supposed to walk around the park in that.

He's not supposed to get wet. Getting wet is an absolute no-no as there is a chance of developing gangrene... AARGH.
