Small Update

So we are still just walking around the neighborhood behind my condo. He hasnt shown up lame or anything and the last time I walked him I bumped up the pace a little to a brisk walk so I actually put a little pressure on him.

Either this week or next week I am going to take him back in for a recheck and to look at his skin allergies. He has FRIGHTFUL skin allergies... which is alarming as the dog is only 18 months old. Anyways, hopefully by then we can start going on small jogs and I can start throwing the ball for him and stuff... I really want to get him back into decent shape and start really testing him if he is out of the woods or not with this injury. I also am itching to start retraining him so we can hit the rings again one day. We are definitely going to do major jump retraining. I think everything else, he will just have to have some refresher courses..but jumping he is going to have a lot of work cut out for him. Lets just keep hoping he stays sound though.

I bought some Cetyl-M for him because they sell it at Petco. I was going to get him Glyco-Flex III (really strong stuff) but that was if he was going to have the surgery..the Cetyl-M should be fine as a maintanence thing for him.

Oh Happy Happy Joy Joy

Do a little dance with me...... The vet cleared us to start going on walks.. Yoshi might not need surgery!!!!!!! His leg would not pop out under a lot of pressure!!! It was a little looser than the other, but it would not pop out at all! I have been so excited I could just burst. So we will start slowly building back Mr Yosh-man and if he stays sound and everything shapes up like theres a chance it will... then we might be hitting the rings in the fall!!!!!!!! I AM THRILLED! We are not out of the woods yet, but it definitely looks good right now!

Can we say that I am SUPER EXCITED????????????????????????????????????

Vote for him!

Updates- but not much to update on

Still under 100% crate rest. I take him in this month to find out if we need to do surgery and if he will ever have a chance to run in agility again.

If we need to do the surgery, it will cost me about $2500...........

Hes gained some weight and isnt too happy..I just hope this mess is done soon.

As for now I made a video of the only show we ever got to go to... *sigh* If I didnt have Foxy I would have gone insane already...this has truly been hard.
