The 4 week update (a little late)

Ok, so its been almost 6 weeks since surgery. How time flies! Chili is doing very well! He had his 4 week checkup on May 29 with Dr. Rodriguez. Everything looked great, and he got the approval to start 5 minute walks every day. We've been taking him around the cul-de-sac; doing one lap in one direction, then reversing for the second lap. He limps a little bit sometimes, but it doesn't seem to bother him too much. I'm really glad he can pick his own locations to go to the bathroom at- he's a picky pooper! Try and select the right place for your dog to fertilize, its harder than you think!

He ended up going back to the vet on June 5th. He had a little string at the bottom of the incision (from the interior stitches). He kept chewing on it, and the clinic advised me to bring him in instead of cutting it myself. He spent the day at the vet (they treat him like royalty!) and he had the string removed and a secondary check (everything still looks good!)

I'm going to try and take a couple pictures of his leg tonight, and hopefully post them within the next few days. He's starting to grow his fur back, and there are a few hairs already growing on the incision, I think it'll hardly be noticeable in a month or two!
