Tealk had elbow surgery today

[K9ldy00]

We took him in to the U.T. Vet School yesterday. We thought he was going to have surgery then, but they took more xrays and evaluated his elbows. They did the surgery today at 1:00 I called them at 4:30 and he was in the recovery room. They told me it took a lot longer then they thought it would. He had to have a large chip of bone removed. They don't know if he will be home tomorrow or not, it depends on the amount of pain he has. I hope he recovers quickly. My poor little big boy. I miss him, even with 5 other dogs it seems empty with out him.

They were thinking FCP when the vet spoke to me before the surgery. I explained to him that the elbow problem came on acutely. After he went outside in his first snow. We have about 15 stairs going down into the backyard. So I'm not sure if it was just an injury or if it is FCP. I will speak to the vet more when we pick him up.

Aw, poor Tealk!! I hope he is feeling better soon! I'm sure it felt lonely without him even if you do have 5 other pooches! Everyone has a unique energy that they bring to a pack, and it just doesn't feel right when one member is missing.

I hope he is home soon and on the road to recovery.

Tealk is going to feel so much better now, it's tough stuff, but he will probably be like a pup again when all this is over. Hope you're feeling better soon Tealk.
