Send good thoughts Jakes way…

(reprinted from Faceook) 

Tomorrow(2/22/10) he has surgery. Two weeks ago he started limping and x-rays showed " an old fracture of the pelvis on right ischium going into the acetabulum. The femoral head and neck were damaged with dernineralization of the head." (obviously not my words!) So after consultation with several vets who all agreed, Jake will have a femoral head excision tomorrow at Dr. Link's office in Madison. After that.. rehab and recovery!

Oh no! A big hug to both of you.

We're doing that rehab thing here. My foster dog had grade 3 and 4 luxating patellas. We fixed the worst one about a month ago, once it heals (he's STILL on crate/short leash rest), we'll look at doing the other.

Not fun.

Thanks all.. Heather... we're not totally sure but the x-rays were 2 weeks after I got him and the injury was an "old fracture" - words used by 2 vets independently... was it mom when he was tiny.. don't know.. maybe never will.. Tammy... I'm told he will be able to do sport work so I'm keeping my fingers crossed because he sure wants to! Right now it's rehab on my mind!
