Well- we are about 5 weeks in and Penny is healing great! Doc says she's a little ahead of schedule and is pretty much the poster pup for TPLO! She pretty much has no restrictions inside, she can go on our regular length walks (to help with a small amount of muscle atrophy since the surgery), just no hard running- who are we kidding, this is Penny I'm talking about. Lol.
One more follow up with X-rays in a month, and we will go from there. But all in all- she's doing amazing!

PS- proud EB mom moment. Doc says Penny and Lockjaw are probably the prettiest and well-kept EB's he's come across! Says they are beautiful and keep up everything I'm doing for them!

It's awesome to finally find a vet that doesn't make me feel guilty for having EB's!

That's awesome Penny is doing so great in recovery. I just dropped Tank off for his TPLO surgery. He's 5.5 yrs old. This is our first time having to go through this. He wasn't too happy with me this morning on our way to the vet. Every time I would start talking to him, I would get choked up. This is the look I got the entire trip lol

He'll do great!!!!! I cried when I dropped Penny off, but I would definitely do it all again. Seeing how much happier she is and especially how much easier it seems to be for her to get around makes it soooo worth it!
Definitely keep us updated on his progress! I'll be praying for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery!!!

So good to hear these stories of success :) And :) Isn't it wonderful to achieve those "proud mommy" moments :) We all do our best but I tell ya, these guys take a lot of work and for it to be noticed had to feel great :) Sometimes when people comment on what a great looking dog I got, I think,,, they have no idea what it takes to keep um that way ;) .. Keep up the 'healing' and all the best to Tank... Boy do they tug at our hearts...
