I know you seem to be blaming yourself but if you look up TPLO which is the nearest operation to your dogs, this does occassionally happen unfortunately

It was probably nothing you or he did.

You must be starting from the beginning again?

Hopefully the brace will help

thank you for asking
yes finn did get painkiller (metacam) again and i have been cooling the leg with frozen peas today he was quiet and he was sleeping most of the time ( no wonder realy after last night)
it gave me a bit of time to tipe all of the stuff here.

Good that he's been sleeping it all off, his leg looks very sore hopefully the metacam will be enough, I was worried Banjo was trying to over do things because the meds he was on made him feel like he could I do hope the brace is a success x

I do hope it's good news and not more even stress for you

well at least we got some good news today

Was on the phone to the orthopaedic he will do all he can to get the brace made ASAP!!
I did ask on the beginning about the cost (he told me a proximate price before) he turned around and said
“you will only get an invoice of me, when the brace is made and it fits your dog like second pair of skin!” WOW that was a big thing I did not expect him to say.
so for me it means he dos all his work first and only if brace is working properly … he will get paid!?
more than good news dont you thing???

OOooooo I like your orthapedic vet he must have great faith in his work then so sounds good to me x

Have just read through this and will be keeping up with his progress. That is really good with the brace, I hope it comes quickly and that it gets him up and about again, what a poor poor boy

There are some good people around, my OH's parents dog had a skin problem that the vet couldnt identify and the vet said he would try anything he could think of and they would only pay for what worked.
