Well, we are done with the Antibiotics! We are still giving the Dermaxx and Tramadol in the morning, and Glucosamine (1500mg) daily.
Bohdi is starting to chew on his feet (all of them, he does not discriminate) so I think he is getting bored as he has never had allergies; a common cause for foot chewing. I catch him doing it when he is alone on the pen and doesn't chew when he is with me..another reason I think it's stress and boredom. I’ve tried to give him some new toys but he just isn’t interested unless someone else is yanking on the other end of said toys. Since we have to lay off the rough play that is out of the question.
I tried to give him a bone. It is a real bone with some kind of supposed slather of sauce on it. He was disgusted and proceeded to roll it up (I am not kidding people) and cover it with the napkin I gave it to him on. He used his nose to roll the napkin over the bone several times and even tried to cover up both ends. So much for that idea. I try to have him out of his pen most of the day. I make sure he isn’t wandering around the house and that he stays put. BTW, I bought disposable changing pads/cloths before Bohdi came home from surgery and they have been invaluable. I highly suggest them to prevent messes of all kinds. That is what the bone was "buried" in.
Our check up is on Friday, so a few days past the two-week mark. I am hoping they will not have to manipulate the knee too much or let me demonstrate for them. He is really starting to dislike the vets office. He figures something dreadful is going to happen every time he goes.
He is healing up great and putting more pressure on the leg while walking.
He is still cautious with it when turning a 180. He tried to dash after me into another room the other day. I stopped him almost immediately yet I did get a chance to note that he was trying a three-legged sprint. This reinforces that I want to get him rehabbing with walks and the pool ASAP.
I will follow up after the check up if not before then. Here are some pictures of “The King of Boredom”.
Another just to show HOW DANG CUTE HE WAS AS A PUPPY!!!!
