Buddy has been home from the Vet since this past Saturday. He got quite a bit on him shaved, so he looks pretty funny. He is in much better spirits this past week than he has been. Of course he is still on pain killer too. He is not supposed to run loose until the stitches get taken out because she does not want him to get the stitches dirty. He of course snuck out yesterday and was chasing a rabbit in the woods. He came back covered in mud, but the stitches were still clean. He gets the stitches out on Tuesday. For the next several weeks we need to do some range of motion exercises on his hip. Thanks to all who gave their well wishes for him.

I know what range of motion exercises are, but am trying to picture doing them with the dog. Sounds like once the stitches are out, he may be doing his own exercises lol.

He is try to work on his own exercises already that is for sure. He is miserable being cooped up.

I'm so glad Buddy is doing well. It hurts the heck out of me to see any pet suffer. I would have loved to be a vet, but I'd cry every time a dog whimpered in pain! And Buddy is lucky to have people who take such good care of him.

Glad to hear the Buddy has you to look after him. I hope that, sooner rather than later, the rogue dog which attacked him his caught and / or put down.
