Update about Puppy
Hi Everybody,
My puppy Bullet had his surgery today on his tibia. The surgeon was able to reattach the tibia bone chip that still had the tendon attach. They used a pin to reattach it to the bone because a screw was too long. The pin was secured with wire and may have to be removed at a later date. The surgery went really well and we can pick him up tomorrow (Wednesday) at 5 p.m. and bring him back home. It's been really quiet without him. He has to stay in a splint for 6-8 weeks and will have to stay in a crate during that time so he can regain strength of his leg. The vet is going to give us something to sedate him, so hopefully he won't pull the splint off again. I am glad this part is over.
Regards,
Sweetie

That's good news!
Thanks for the update! I'm happy to hear that the surgery went well and that he is on the mend.
I know it is hard to keep them quiet. This may sound funny but we had to crate one of our cats after she was spayed because she kept jumping around and pulling out stitches.
Keep us posted.
