We start one knee at a time. Revisit in 4 weeks at determine doing the other knee.
After Birdie's surgery, we took her in every other day for K-laser treatment, which basically helps the wound heal faster. I was pretty skeptical but there is no denying that her recovery has been remarkable. I think she's feeling better now than she has is quite a while. In any event, we seem to be closing in on Star Trek kinda stuff where they wave a magic wand over you and bam, you're healed.first knee done. Doc said it went extremely well. 70% tear with lots of arthritis. 6 weeks to recover till the other knee is done.
What's K-Laser? We go back 2/16 for suture removal. I'll ask about it.After Birdie's surgery, we took her in every other day for K-laser treatment, which basically helps the wound heal faster.

It's like some sort of ultrasound dealio that is supposed to stimulate the cells in a way that promotes faster healing. Like I said, my initial reaction was that it was basically essential oils and aroma therapy voodoo, but it certainly didn't hurt. Plenty of info about it one the world wide webernet.What's K-Laser?

The wonders of medical science. Glad Cowboy is healing well. I had some trouble with my knee replacement.So, It's been 6 weeks since Cowboy had his TPLO surgery on his right leg. Below are the X-Rays we received from that surgery showing the plate. He's done extremely well.

Took the Butthead in yesterday for the left leg and he just arrived home. 2 weeks to go to get sutures out and then 8 weeks to heal all.
He's doing great. He's probably about at 90% now. He's running and playing. He'll jump in the back of my Jeep again, which he stopped doing before the surgery. We take him to Doggie Daycare again so he can play with all his buddies. They report he's doing fantastic as if nothing ever happend.Update on the pup @NVGator ?
