That's great news.  I'm so pleased for your brave lad. 

They do have a knack for turning heads and melting hearts, don't they!  I've had a vet here ask if we ever can't keep Millie (for any reason) give her first dibs.  Two things here, firstly she doesn't stand a chance of us giving her up and secondly, as agreed, she'd go back to GAL! 

You better watch that the staff don't snaffle him away! 

So pleased to hear that Scooby is making good progress. What a brave boy he is, I am sure he will continue to get better by the day.

Hiya everybody,

Scooby is doing really well.

He had his weekly vets appointment on Tuesday & they are so happy with him.

He is to keep the metal cast on for a further 3 weeks & then they are going to take him in sedate him & take the cast off to do xrays to see if the bone & pins have taken.

He is walking on his leg a little which is good too.

He is now sporting a welly sock on his leg to cover the bandages as he's a little monkey for licking the bandages & of course they get soaked, but with the welly sock it's stopped him.
I didn't want him to have the lampshade (collar) on him as it would make him so miserable.

When on our little short walks he is getting hyper when seeing rabbits so thats a good sign he is getting better too.
Long time before he gets off the lead again though.

Also 'thank you' BOWBANG for asking how Scooby is getting on.

Thanks for updating us, it's good to hear his progress, and all your care and attention are starting to take effect!

Thanks for the update.

So glad to hear that Scooby is still on the road to recovery.

Poor Scooby indeed. What a sad poor me looking doggy :(  But so glad to hear he is on the mend. Its amazing how these dogs can suffer serious injuries and recover so speedily. All the TLC is working, more is required  

Our thoughts, hugs and lix from all at Balloch are with you and Scooby

UPDATE .......

NOT GOOD NEWS THOUGH I AM AFRAID .......


Took Scoobs for his appointment to the vets this morning.
They kept him in to give him a slight sedation & to xray his leg as he is no longer attempting to walk on it anymore.
The vet has just phoned me to say she is going re operate on him again tomorrow afternoon because his leg is not healing as well as they hoped because one of the pins in his leg has snapped & is stopping him from walking & another pin is being sent to the lab due the infection he has, to be tested to make sure the antibiotics we are giving him are the correct ones.
Apparently its one of those things to happen & it's happened to Scooby !

So were not happy with what we have been told & i'm feeling so down in the dumps about it all.
Poor boy will feel like he's been in the boxing ring again by wednesday when the sedative will of worn off him again & he'll have the nasty bruises to show too.

It was 5 weeks ago since the accident happened & looks like another 10 weeks again for him having to have the metal cast on his leg !

I really hope this nightmare is going to end for Scooby soon as he's been through so much already.
So no wee man for the next 2 nights again & hopefully shall get him home sometime on Wednesday.

Our thoughts and good wishes are with you at this time....get well soon Scooby xx

So sorry to hear this, and thinking of Scooby, and you try and keep your chin up, although it's hard going.

sorry to hear about Scooby  Fingers crossed everything goes well
