Surgery went very well, no surprises, issues, abnormalities or complications. Dog is doing very well. 3 days post-op, swelling is down, pain is minimal. The work begins. Binder with weekly instructions and benchmarks for each day....that include massage of affected area, range of motion exercises, ice treatment, 3 to 4 times a day to begin. Progresses from there with other exercises and movements to be done at home. Next appointment is November 4. If all looks/is good, sutures come out, another injection to promote growth and PT will start on November 10.
Fingers crossed for a solid, healthy recovery.
