Everyone pls post pics of your pets.
An update on Grendel's leg: After 2 surgeries, a stem cell injection and heaps of medication over the past 7 months, he has ended up losing his leg.My dog Grendel (as seen in the OP) has torn the cruciate ligament in his knee. Normally he doesn't feel pain but he felt this when he tore it. He pretty much screamed and then I had to comfort him for a while to calm him down. He's been on painkillers the past few days so he's alright now.
His operation is tomorrow. All up with the extra stuff needed to be bought it's going to cost about $4k. Because he's 5, it means his other knee will probably go eventually as well.
After the op he won't be able to walk or move much for 8 weeks, which is going to piss him off because he is a very active dog. We bought an enclosure which he will be staying in.
He is doing pretty well. He's in a lot less pain now, so that's good.I hope Grendel is recovering well.

Since the first op he's only been using 3 legs, so he should adapt pretty quickly. He's been in a lot of pain even though he's been on a lot of different painkillers, so in the long run it's for the best.
Thanks -Arcadia-.Give him lots of love for me. That must have been rough for both of you, so my sympathies to you as well. (Hug)
Ive had a three legged cat now for a year. Had to make painful choice to amputate after taking him in from streets after a couple months from a severe infection. Long story short he bounced back pretty quick. It's crazy how fast they adapt. He had random phantom pains for a couple months (poor baby) but he is absolutely like a normal cat again. I have two other cats and he is the alpha, three legs and all. He's the strongest, runs the fastest and jumps the highest. Pretty damn hilarious if you ask me. Best of luck with your pupper. He's now extra unique and much cooler.An update on Grendel's leg: After 2 surgeries, a stem cell injection and heaps of medication over the past 7 months, he has ended up losing his leg.
