Tank Update....

So yesterday I took Tank to the surgeon that worked on BLD and Murray. She spent a lot of time with me and then asked if I wanted to do the surgery that day.....I wasn't really prepared....but he needed to have it done. Basically they reattach his kneecap where it's supposed to be....not on the side of his knee where it was. There is a pin there to keep it placed in the right area. I called this morning and they said he was doing well. When I went to pick him up he was walking fine....but that was the drugs talking. He has his left rear leg wrapped... in camo...would have liked something Christmassy but oh well. We got home okay, but then began the real problems. My two Huskies just sniffed at him, but my boxer/pit foster wanted to jump on him. Now it's a game of Faith in her crate while I take him out and I don't know what's going to happen tonight. I'll sleep on the floor next to him if I have to. Wish me luck....anyone have room for a boxer/pit mix for a week???? Keep me in your thoughts , I'm going to need them!!!

  1. Poor Tank. I hope he feels better soon. I feel bad for Faith, also. She just wants her friend to play and be happy. She just doesn't understand. :-( Is Tank staying in his crate most of the time or are you letting him get up as he feels like it?

    1. He has to stay off the leg as much as possible....I'll be sleeping on an air mattress next to the crate for as long as I have to....most expensive flop house around!!!!
