Pickle Update

Last week Pickle had surgery, she tore her ACL in her knee. I know, our little sports star is on the injured list. :) But she is doing really well. The Vet said the surgery went great and he expects her to make a full recovery.

We took her bandages off the other night and it was a little startling to see her leg. Totally bruised and the incision is pretty long, but it is doing good. We go in next week to get the stitches out and get our "rehab to do list." We are happy that it is getting warmer and we can take her to the pond and have her swim to help strengthen her muscles. The Vet said we could also just fill up our bath tub and work with her in there since she is so small. Good thing she likes baths!

Anyhoo, she is on the mend and will be back to 100% in no time! I hope she is at least able to play and run a little on her birthday! She turns 2 on April 30th!

  1. Poor pickle. Bath tub workouts?? Looks like the next task for Mike will be installing a Jacuzzi tub so she can have physical rehab in the pool!! I'll wish for better weather instead....for Mike's sake! Get well soon Pickle.
