Good to see Fumbule enjoying himself and looking so handsome even with that skinny poodle leg! Looking forward to more updates of his progress.

did he have cruciate surgery? if so i would highly recommend anyone with a giant breed before and after a surgery like this, wether affected or not, to give 1700 mg gluc chond
studies have shown those with a partial tear, that were given this dose most times did NOT need the surgery, my tasha is one of them.
out of all the newfs i have owned, i have never (knock on wood) experienced a torn tendon, but, we figured she had a partial tear, in one week of this dose, she did not limp, she has been symptom free now for over a year and a half.
for those post surgery, this dose may help so the other leg does not need to be done, in many cases it does need it, in some it does not.
i give tasha the spring valley gluc chond from walmart.
Glad to see he is recovering well!

fumble has been on 1500 gluc/chron for as long as i can remember, the breeders are HUGE on that and vitamin C.  but i have upped his dosage to 2000 of gluc/chron since, especially with being off the antibiotics, i wanted extra prevention.  thanks though, it's hopefull about the other knee for now.  i mean he definately will need surgery because it's about 75% if not more torn, but he's doing really well on it, no limping at all! so maybe the gluc/chron will help to prolong the surgery, give me time to save some more money!! hehe

How is our big boy doing? 

[CrazyLoveRosie]

Fumble is still majestic, with skinny leg and all. That picture of him sitting with his leg extended out looks like he's saying "Look at me and my sexy sexy leg. Don't be jealous."

hehe! you all beat me to the punches!  fumble's doing good!  we went to the vet yesterday for our 1 month checkup and he said that he's doing 'VERY WELL' for only 4 weeks out, better than expected.  gotta love the goofy newf.  i will tell you though, he was such a pain in the butt at the vets because he hasn't really seen any other people or dogs in a while!!  he's like "that kid" that no one wants to hang out with, and laughs at! hehe!  the vet said we can do up to 3/4 mile walks now.  I'm not sure if i'm going to really push it though.  Only cause he's still limping in the house pretty bad!  so i think we'll stick with the short walks but bring them up to 3 times a day instead of just 1 or 2.  But other than that things are great! he's definately gotten back to himself and has really entered the terrible 2 stage!  he pretends some days like he doesn't even know his name!  the only thing he recognizes as a command on a consistent basis is stay! lol!  and that's the one he never listened to before!  hehE!!  i'll take some more pictures this weekend of him so you can all see the furry leg growing back!  
Thanks again for everyone's concern and well wishes! it really means A LOT!!

I am thrilled that big bundle of love is doing so well... and is back to his Fumbleness! Sending tons of happy hugs to y'all!

Hip! Hip! Hooray!!! I'm so glad that the Fumbs is feeling better!!!

Hi Kids!

I hope the big fella is feeling much better and getting around a bit more.  I got your e-mail reply awhile back & I just wanted to send all of you, humans too, more hugs & good wishes from Jersey. I thought of Fumbs yesterday bc our big Klondike had both knees done a few years back and now that he got his summer haircut, you can see his scars.  Other than that, Klondike is doing great after going through what Fumbles is dealing with. 

Hang in there!

good deal, the big guy's got too much heart to be down and out for too long. i think the most important part of the healing process is the caregiver. good job u 2 it's good to know he's on the up n' up
