Grady Update:
Grady’s FHO surgery was yesterday at Dallas Veterinary Surgical Center with Dr. Laine and team . It went really well.
Thank you to all who donated to make it possible for his surgery with such a highly skilled, board certified, orthopedic surgeon for his best recovery!
We’re ready to bring on the healing for this sweet puppy.
Our amazing medical foster, Sam, was able to pick him up today. We’re sharing some photos.
The surgery should go a long way toward relieving pain for Grady’s hip and leg and will help him get back on four feet. It’s a bit of a healing process. Three weeks very strict crate rest and only brief standing for potty breaks. Followed by at least another 5-6 weeks of healing, stretching, and very brief, 1-2minute walks to strengthen.
At 3-4 weeks Grady needs X-rays to check healing prognosis on his surgery healing and his fractured ulna. The fracture is close to the growth plate which, if damaged, means the fractured bone won’t grow at the same rate as the other bone, the radius. We’re praying his leg heals perfectly and that his ulna fracture will heal seamlessly so the bone will continue to grow at the same pace as the radius arm bone.
We’ve shared his surgical estimate in the photos along with pics of Grady at DVSC, North Dallas location. The estimate above does not include any of the future Xray visits that Grady will need. They bill those at the time of care.
Thank you for the many prayers and for every single donation for Grady. 100% of every cent will be used for his medical care. Thank you to the wonderful team @ Dallas/DVSC for their compassionate and expert care. Thank you to his awesome foster momma who is giving him the chance to be in her loving home and arms while he heals.
We appreciate all of your support and if you could see Grady’s tail wagging, you would surely know he is grateful, too.
