This morning I brought Jack to the vet for his surgery. I meant to talk about this sooner but I've been working non-stop.
Jack got his shots about 2 weeks ago. The very next day or so afterward we noticed him limping. I didn't think much about it cause I thought it was just from the shots. Well 9 days later, he's still limping.... I call the vet and bring him in right away. Long story short, he doesn't like the feel or look of his front legs. We had commented in the past that he sometimes looked bow legged but just chalked it up to him "growing into himself". They took xrays and referred me to a specialist. I brought him there 2 days later and they said that in Jack's forearms of the two bones, one wasn't growing at the same pace as the other, causing him pain, limping and that bowed out look. It needs to be surgically fixed asap. In laymans terms...He will have a piece of the bone removed and a pin put along the bone so it will stretch with the other one. Hopefully this will heal properly and won't require more surgeries as he ages. He's having one leg done today and one leg done in 2 weeks. And I'm going to have to get a 3rd job. just kidding.
So.....I brought him this morning. He comes home tomorrow. No word yet about the surgery. He's probably in there right now.
And this brings my to my post....Harley is just the most pathetic looking sight right now and it's breaking my heart. He misses him.
Our poor little Jacker. He'll be home tomorrow.
