My dog Ripley had back surgery on 12/06/2010. I created this video for her surgeon to see how she's doing in her natural environment (rather than at the vet hospital). She's doing very well 6 weeks after surgery and is back to enjoying walks in the woods with the rest of the pack. In the first 4 1/2 minutes of the video, we're walking gradually uphill. Her gait changes some when we start going downhill.
It's been almost 4 months since Ripley's back surgery and I'm happy to report she's doing very well. ... except the hair on her back doesn't want to grow back! It's growing in very very very slowly from the sides of the shaved area. Her surgeon suggested I try giving her melatonin twice daily until the hair grows back ... interesting ... we'll see if it works!
