My husband just got off the phone with the surgeon and Tank did great in surgery. His chest x-ray was totally clear so that was a huge blessing. He said he is really groggy but had been awake and starting to move around some. After waiting what felt like DAYS it was so good to hear that he was going to be ok. He is probably going to stay until Wednesday which I think I am ok with. If he was a smaller dog I might feel differently but I am afraid one of us is going to hurt him in our efforts to try to help him get around. One more night in the surgery center will hopefully allow him a little more adjustment time. Anyway, just wanted to update you guys and let you know that Tank is indeed a Tripawd 🙂
And felt your sigh if relief all the way over here in Virgina!! Thought it was a small tornado passing tnrough!!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY Tank!!
Yeah, I think staying til Wed. is good for ALL of you! I k ow you want him home but, trust me, get yout sleep while you can!! You may have a few sleepless ights ahead of when he gets home!!
I’m really happy for you! The recovery part is no fun……but boy, the return of Tank’s sparkke is GLORIOUS!!
Joy jumping over here:-) 🙂

So glad to hear this news. Breath now Mom and get some rest for yourself as it will be in short supply for awhile after he comes home.
I do think it is a great idea that the clinic keephim. I feel it really helps with the pain management and gives you some extra breathing time.
Take care and we’ll be watching for updates when time allows.

that is great!!! so glad to hear it.. I remember the overwhelming feeling of relief when the surgeon said that everything was ok so I know exactly how you feel..
Remember when you pick up Tank.. don’t focus on the fact that he is missing a leg.. focus on his eyes and happy wagging tail because he will be so damn happy to see you… and that is what counts!!!
