Thank you.. yep.. 5 months and 1 wk old today.. 43lbs. and TWO Broken legs POOR DUDE !!
He's my tough boy though.. he's doing great.. I have him up and walking with a little weight bearing just like I am supposed to.. 5 minutes Every 4 hours for the first 2 weeks.. then I have to do sit exercises after every walk where I have to get him to sit and stretch the muscles of the leg.. other than that.. FLUIDS, his MEDS, Food, and tons and tons of REST !!
And he should be good as NEW in 6 weeks.
I don't even care that it has put a hold on my training.. my training can wait. My dog is more important than slinging Iron.. so it seems that I wont be back into the gym for at least a week...
We'll see.. My Main concern is getting him back to 100%.. I can always add muscle and lose fat... I neglect and mess up on his recovery and he could be fuct for life with no mobility in his rear legs.. or worse .. a blood clot that causes amputation or shoots to the heart and kills him.. or even an INFECTION in the wound from the surgery...
So it looks like the weights will have to wait.
