Rowdy's Home! - First day after TPLO surgery.
So far so good, Rowdy's home from surgery and everything seems to be going as planned. His TPLO knee surgery went fine with no complications, the wonderful folks at Shady Oak Vet took very good care of him (thank you guys)!
We did find out that Rowdy has some premature arthritis in his knee, most likely caused by the stress of the injury. We're researching some natural supplements like chondroitin and glucosamine for dogs and will likely put him on something like that when he's off his pain medication.
Now, it's time for him to rest and time for us to keep Roxy (our 2yr old deaf boxer) entertained as she's drying to play with Rowdy and that can't happen for quite some time.

So happy to see that things went well. Hoping for a speedy recovery
Sonia, Josh, and BoBo
(too bad BoBo isn't healthier or Roxy could have played with him)
Such a sweet vid! I can't imagine how your heart must melt at Rowdy's cast and his sad, sweet face. I think Fergie would have me wrapped around her little paw if she had to be in a cast like that! "What's that Fergie? Bacon? Ok, coming right up! Oh, and you want some steak too? No problem! Ice cream? Sure, why not! Anything for you boo boo". hee hee
