Bacio’s FHO surgery<\/a> was a month ago, but it still feels like it was only last week. \u00a0Today we went for the follow up appointment. \u00a0He’s still on the road to recovery, but Bacio’s road might be a bit longer than most. \u00a0The stumble he took on the stairs<\/a> seems to have set him back a couple weeks. \u00a0Although his knee and ligaments seem fine, the pain from the fall seems to have slowed his progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was able to express my concerns to the vet this time around. \u00a0I mentioned how wobbly his knee looks when we’re walking. His other hip is in such poor shape that he’s swinging<\/a> it to get it around for a step. \u00a0The motion is making his knee bend in, and I am worried it will cause some damage. \u00a0The only thing I can really do about it though work on strengthening his muscles. \u00a0I’ve opted to take him in for hydrotherapy, even though it will definitely put a crater in the pocketbook. \u00a0The water treadmill will take some of the stress off his other leg and get the muscles building faster. \u00a0The vet also suggested keeping pain pills on hand. \u00a0I’m going to see if he manages without them, but it’s likely he’ll need at least one a day (we’ve been on 2 a day). \u00a0On the nighttime walk this evening he didn’t even want to go 3 houses down. \u00a0Man, hip dysplasia sucks.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had to use this photo again, because it completely captures the sentiment.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I prommmiisseeee I’ll have at least the video of the first 2 weeks up soon. \u00a0It’s been hectic going back and forth. \u00a0I’m exhausted. I need to hop into bed now. I just wanted to give everyone a quick update on progress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
