Dean: How is the new vet working out? I am so glad you are getting a well deserved break. I spent this past week hunting down gifts for five dogs I sponsored for Christmas at a rescue where I got my pup . Their gifts will go with them when they are finally adopted. It is fun watching them enjoy it. They also had five new dogs come in shot, attacked by coyotes, two hit by cars and one will have an amputation.
Poor guy is just a year old.
It's just a relief vet this week. I did hire a new vet but they can't start until June. Emergency vets are in high demand and low supply. Well, good ones anyway.
That sounds like quite the week at the rescue. It sounds like one of my weeks at the ER. What happened that the dog will need an amputation?0 -

I am sure specialty vets are in demand. My specialty veterinary practice is huge and I am sure lots of them find their way to places like PSVEC. The dog who will be have his leg amutated tomorrow has a left leg Humeral Malunion and Disuse Osteopenia from a former injury not being treated.
The other guy had his elbow shattered by two bullets. The vet said his surgery went really well. His triceps were still attached to the Ulna fragment which was reapposed with 2 pins and a tension wire. His activity level will need to be greatly restricted during his recovery to prevent bending of the pins. This will be followed by aggressive physical therapy to rebuild that triceps muscle. He's gone so long without walking on that leg, that it may be hard to convince him that he's allowed to use that leg again. There is still a chance that he will never start using the leg again and will need amputation. He did great under anesthesia, and the vet was able to remove the bullet fragments as well.
The other guy was hit by a car and had a plate put in for a rear displaced transfer fracture of the femur.
The Shepherd was attacked by coyotes trying to defend her pups. They killed all of but one pup but she died at the hospital. They did a number on the mother and she is missing a huge portion of his right ear.0 -
Janet: Congratulatiosn to your son on his accomplishments. The one nephew, whom I raised had learning issues and school was also a struggle for him. I know that you must be very proud of him.0

Today I cracked my Strava YTD miles goal of 7,000 miles with 7,011 miles cycling (so far). Going to press a bit to see what I can get above goal. I will be on vacation to Seattle next week with my son, so gonna try out the Burke-Gilman trail.

Not had a good few days as I’ve had a debilitating headache. Good news is that yesterday instead of my sports masseuse paying attention to my quads and hams .... she focused on my neck and shoulders. That woman is awesome - woken up headache free.2
