Poor Buddy, and poor you.
It's a horrible feeling waiting to hear from the vets when they're in for surgery, so you have my utmost sympathies.
Fingers crossed he comes round ok and for a smooth recovery. x
Fingers crossed, one of mine had very similar, they took out bone chips in the surgery. I assumed he'd be an ornament and got another one on loan, then he recovered fully and the next winter won the local riding club league SJ.
Hi everyone, thank you so much for all the replies and vibes. Have been to visit the big bear, he is eating/drinking/pooing and a little dopey....
He is having intravenous antibiotics for the next 5 days and having a tourniquet to the leg every other day and antibiotics delivered straight to the joint, so not out of the woods by a long shot and obviously daily bandage changes and close obs. So in the best hands but I wont get him home for awhile. Really really miss him, next visiting day will be monday
As long I get my boy back though!! Trying to stay positive. Thank you for all the kind words!
