Just had a catch up on the diary & the swelleing does look less angry today

I think the muscle will take along time to heal from what I can remember when the vet said they would be going into Banjo's neck via his front so they did'nt have to cut to much of the muscle.

Will the brace be able to go over the swelling?

It was freezing cold this morning -15°C as I started to get the car ready to got to the vets.
I must admit I was not very environmentally friendly this morning, I let the car running for about 15 minutes before I let Finn get in to the car. But I don’t want him to catch a cold now, would not be healthy to catch something now!
I did not really fancied to go to the vets, but I am glad now I did …because the weather has changed it started to snow, that’s worse then the dry frost!
The vet was very happy today my Boys leg looks good. My vet was surprised about the good condition his leg is in. It is all explained in the crucial thread. I have be doing research on supplements and a different diets. Today I talked to her about the supplements and diet and I got the okay from her side.
It has taken allot of time but finely I can see some glow at the end of the tunnel!
I am feeling a bit better now talking to the vet and things finely start to work for us.
One thing ……I am sooo thankful I have a brilliant Vet like mine! Reading some of the threads here in the PF about other vets…. just make me feel sick!
Maybe I should open a thread and ask how people think about there vets!?
The vet said with a bit of luck we get the brace to the end of next week!!!!!!! jippppeeeeee

So pleased it all went well.
Sometimes we convince ourselves that things are going dreadfully wrong, then go to the vet who is really pleased with progress

Will the brace be able to go over the swelling?
