Well, it has been almost a month since Cody tore ligaments in his rear
knee. He is doing not too badly, but of course it still hurts. He does put
weight on it, but limps. We've been restricting his movements, including
fencing in the whole patio, so now he has a giant play pen! I received his
brace last week and the poor guy was so patient with me as I tried to get it on
him and get all the straps right - which of course I didn't do the first
time. He is such a little trooper. He doesn't mind the brace as we
are associating it with him being able to go free on the property, but we still
limit the amount of time he is out. There isn't any fighting and he isn't
trying to pull if off. He is very easy going. We had blocked one
area of the house with floors that we didn't want to put mats on with a 1 inch
thick piece of styrofoam that came up to his chest. He never even tried to
push or climb over. We could have hung a piece of paper and he wouldn't
have crossed it. I just feel so bad for him because his life has changed,
but I think he is more ok with it than I am. We aren't going to go with
surgery due to the condition of his hips and the recovery
needed. Thanks for you input into this scary injury.
