Putting this in General Discussion as many many were involved in this story, but mods feel free to move if necessary.
Zuzu had her post-surgery check up and X ray yesterday with Dr. Trout at Angell in Boston. I was apprehensive because her gait is very odd, even though she seems comfortable and happy. I was afraid we'd get some bad news.
So - to my surprise the exam indicated that everything is in place - both knees tracking properly. X rays confirmed that both knees are healed, implants and sutures in place, and bones have knit properly.
Holy cow. Knock on wood, we now just have a long, long road of building back muscle very slowly. Walking on leash 5 minutes, twice/day. Then 10 minutes, twice/day, etc. She may always limp, she'll never run and wrestle with Cooper or go to the dog park...but she is one happy, and now healthy, dog. :groovy:
Here's a pic while we waited for our appt yesterday...
