he’s got hip and knee problems, so he’s being referred to an orthopedic surgeon. i think it may be why he was dropped off at the shelter in the first place (the former family may have realized how expensive it would be to get him healthy again). fingers crossed we can get a treatment plan started next week. ❤️‍🩹

    My only caution is that the recovery is pretty hard. Ours had a bit of a nerve issue afterwards from the spinal tap that shut her rear end down entirely, so she couldn’t use her good leg to get around. We ended up having to rig a sling to carry her rear for her when she needed to move. I was worried it was going to be permanent but she eventually got everything back working, but it took a couple months.
