Not so great news.

Unfortunately at the vets this morning we had some bad news. we had both dogs in at the vets to get all their jabs finished off and get little Zoey a check over (shes a very healthy puppy) but we had some bad news to go with this. Monday night Taz came running in from the garden and his back legs slipped out from underneath him. he limped around for a bit but we assumed he had just hurt himself and give him a few days he will be fine. but as we were going into the vet anyway we thought he can be checked up and should be fine.

Bad news is its not just a little knock that will be fine in 48 hours. hes done his cruciate ligament in his knee. To make things either worse weve been told surgery isn't an option as at his age his chances aren't great. So our only option is 4 weeks bed rest and painkillers from now on.

bed rest however isnt going to happen with a 9 week pup in the house.

Oh gee holy macaroni that's a problem could you just separate them in a different place of the house or one inside and one outside because you need Taz to heeal properly you never know whats around the corner with things going haywire with our beloved furry best buddies good luck thought

That's terrible news! I hope you can manage the bed rest - but as you say, it won't be easy.

Oh thats gutting. you can only do your best and fingers and toes crossed for you guys here  

That really is terrible news! Wishing you the best of luck with the bed rest .. it won't be easy but I'll keep my fingers crossed for you x

Best of luck with the bed rest, please try though. Sending best wishes for Taz  

Oh Taz you silly billy, is he ok in a crate? Might be worth giving him some separate time away from Zoey. He should be ok with some rest painkillers and good food. x

Aww no poor taz, good luck with the bed rest, fingers & paws crossed here

bless him. Will be a tough four weeks to keep rested but im sure you will take care of him just fine. Could be seen as extra cuddle time?

Poor Taz no it isn't going to be easy for you, but maybe little Zoey will sense that her big bro is not up to play. xx

Aww poor boy, they do silly things. Get well soon!

ohh poor Taz,i hope the bed rest goes well for him  

Poor taz, good luck, everything crossed that you can get him right xx

Poor Taz. You've had some good advice above, it may not easy to keep him quiet and resting, but please try your best.

Wishing good luck to you both  

Poor baby best wishes to him. Hope he heals well. My exes dog riley had his second cruciate op 3 months ago and know he is like a new dog so dont dispare they can bounce back from it.

Poor Taz! What terrible news! I'm so sorry to hear this. It won't be easy but you'll just have to do your best to try to keep them separated as much as possible for the time being. I hope he is able to recovery quickly! Please keep us updated on how he is doing! Big hugs from me and Gwen for Taz!

Ohh poor Taz  im so sorry to hear this! I hope Taz has a speedy recovery, lots of rest indeed will be difficult but worth it for his recovery! Hugs from Rocky and I

Poor little thing - well done for going to vets. I recently broke my ankle and can only agree that lots and lots of rest does wonders for injuries. Sleep, I read, is actually very healing.
