Ollie: Woofs, Everyone! Ollie here! As you know, #1 packed me off to Dr. C's yesterday on the pretence that I was limping. Well, yes... I have been limping for the past couple of weeks but what's a little limp between friends, I ask you? Dr. C got me up on the examination table and then proceeded to move my leg every which way. Her verdict is that all is not lost and, if I behave myself and not run around like a lunatic, I could deal with the situation sans surgery for some time yet. #1 did manage to snag a couple of photos.
I came home with more Carprox (anti-inflammatory) and some soft chews called Movoflex which Dr. C says have worked really well with quite a few dogs she treats. Paws crossed!
Here is a pic of me hanging with my bro, Benny, after we got back:
And a nice shot of me in the garden:
you are soooooooo handsome and this is great news. now to figure out how to keep you from racing around...
ReplyDeleteBe good and stay calm, Ollie. No-one wants surgery if they can avoid it. Take lessons from your feline family and nap more.
ReplyDeleteOllie, doesn't sound like fun with slowing down a little bit. But sometimes that's what we all have to do in life. Just relax and chill out with Benny.
ReplyDeleteWe hope the med and the Movoflex do the trick, Ollie. You don't want to have to have surgery if you can avoid it. My paws are crossed for you.
ReplyDeleteGreat news - given the pawtential thoughts!
ReplyDeleteNOW Ollie - you need to help #1 and follow Dr C's orders -
The last picture of you - WOW!!!

That's good news, Ollie. We're keeping our paws crossed that your limp will go away soon.
ReplyDeleteHope you are back to 100% soon, Ollie.
ReplyDeleteTake care of those joints, Ollie. Misty warns you that torn CCLs are no fun at all.
