Positive Thoughts for Buddy, Please
As I type, Buddy is having TPLO surgery in Atlanta.
Long story short, we had an appointment with an orthopedic vet at Veterinary Referral Surgical Practice this morning. It didn't take long for Dr. Noone to determine that Buddy's cranial cruciate ligament is completely ruptured.
There will be a 12 week recovery period, but all I can think about right now is getting my boy through surgery.
Please send him some positive thougths and energy.
Thank you and I will keep you updated.

Dr. Noone just called.
Surgery went well and Buddy is doing fine.
We will be able to bring him home tomorrow and begin the very long road to recovery.
As Dr. Noone said, the vet's part is easy compared to the rehabiliation period for the pup and the peeps.
I'm just relieved that he is out of surgery and resting.
Thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers.

We send Buddy our most powerful and positive vibes for him to get completely well. Get well Buddy!! Lots of love, Holly & Mom PS: We are so glad he got through the surgery with no problems and is home now!!!
Many prayers for Buddy!
OMD. Been there. Done that. I didn't have the TPLO... I had the old fashioned (but still works pretty good for little dogs & is WAY cheaper) surgery.
Good luck. I know several dogs who have done really well with TPLO.
Oh man, Buddy, this is going to be difficult. Hey, did I already comment? I forget? No worries. More good thoughts always welcome, right?
Slobbers,
mango
Buddy's Alaskan buddies are all sending him (and you) lots of love and our most positive vibes ever!

Oh how scary! So glad you updated us on his recovery. I know how much you love your Buddy and you're anxious to get him home where you can nurse him back to health. Keep blogging about his progress, and hugs to the other woofers at home!

We read about Buddy on Mango & PeeWee's blog and popped over to give you our best wishes.
We will certainly keep our paws crossed for Buddy's speedy & complete recovery. One of our German Shephard friends had that surgery and while it also took him a few months to recover, he enjoyed a total recovery and is romping like a puppy again.
How is Cami doing? We're keeping our paws crossed for her, too.
Jed & Abby
Buddy, we have our paws crossed that you feelbetter soon!
Bunny
Our paws and fingers are crossed for Buddy! Hope the surgery went well and he has a speedy recovery!
I guess it's a good thing that it's your not birthday!! :)
Sending heling vibes, Buddy!! We want to learn all about your 12 week rehab. Gizmo is supposed to have ACL surgery, but we can't imagine the 12 week confinement with both humans working and two other doggies bouncing about. We "feel your pain!!"
Holding pawsitive thoughts for a quick recovery for Buddy. Mango and Dexter said it was gonna be a long 12 weeks for y'all. I know I would have a real hard time staying still that long! Maybe learning to meditate? Thinking the vet must have provided some meds to help get you through it. Paws crossed for yaz :)

I am so glad your surgery went ok Buddy! Have a speedy recovery. I have a luxating patella (knee cap) on top of my hip dysplasia now and will be having surgery on my knee possibly next week when I have seen my orthopaedic surgeon. Lotsa Licks

Hey Buddy
You are in my thoughts every day...and I'm sending you a ton of purrs too. I'll be glad to see you back at home again even with that silly Elizabethian collar.
What a great b-day present for Rama to bring you home on her b-day.
Hugs and get well whispers,
Madi and Mom
Happy NON Birthday to your Mom today!!! Lickey Kisses, Billy
Nice to meet you, Buddy. All 44 paws at my house will be crossed for ya! And....as an added extra...I is gonna send you some nice Florida sunshine and some good vibes. You listen to your hoomans and take it easy for a while. You will be up and runnin' again real soon.
Amber and da "11-Pack"
Hugs and Kisses Buddy! Hoping for a speedy recovery. Happy non Birthday Ms. Kit.
Sooooo sorry to hear about Buddy's knee. I am relieved he made it through surgery though. I remember how stressful it was for me during Moose's first few weeks post op. It is a challenge to keep them calm when other dogs are around (or even when it is just one for that matter) but I know you can do it. TPLO was a miracle for my Moose and hope it is the same for you guys.
Paws crossed! I have been absent from blogger lately but will be keeping a close eye for updates and if you have any questions feel free to email me! Hang in there!
Happy Birthday to you!!! Love, Debbie & Holly
We're so glad the surgery went well and hope Buddy gets lots of rest when he comes home!
Raider says: watch out for the furniture with the cone, Dude, you'll bump into things you didn't want to! It's suppose to protect the surgery spot! And don't let Sas or Zack make fun of you! BOL
Happy Birthday, Kit!!
Hugs Kathy

Sending oodles of get well wishes to Buddy.My sister's retriever aged 9 had the same procedure...on both of her back legs.. and has made a full recovery..as you say it just takes time.
Lots of healing licks from Bella to Buddy. :0)
I pray for Buddy. I pray to your and buddy's guardian angels to help you and he through this very difficult time!! I pray for a successful surgery and healing time for Buddy!!
I PRAY FOR BUDDY!!!!
And I wish you a happy birthday today girlfriend!!
Love you
Sending lots of love to Buddy! So happy to hear all went well and I know he will be getting lots of TLC at home as he recuperates ♥♥
Stopping over from Dexter and Mango! Postive thoughts heading your way!
-Corbin
Hi Buddy,
Just found your page through my friend Dexter. I wanted to let you know that I am a fellow black lab who had the TTA procedure on both knees last fall. Recovery stinks but you will feel so much better once you are all healed!
If your Mom has any questions, my parent's are happy to try and help, blacklabsandlilly@gmail.com
Get Well Soon!
Mr Magoo
I came via Mango's blog. I had a cruciate repair and menicus tear(which was removed) a couple years ago. The ortho opted not to do the TPLO but a traditional repair since I am only 60 lbs. I am doing great :) Come by and visit or if you have questions you can ask mom :)
Sending our Aire&Welshie PawPower for Buddy's quick recovery! (Mango & Dexter sent us!)
Smooches from pooches,
BabyRD & HOotie
Glad that Buddy's surgery went well. Indeed, the road to recovery may be long, but I am sure with your love and under your tender loving care, he will be fine in no time. Sending you lots and lots of healing vibes...
Hi Buddy - I found your blog from Mango's blog. I am so happy to meet you - my name is Indy Bones and I am a 2 year old chocolate lab who lives in the USA, in Maryland with my humans (Diane and David). I am so sorry to hear about your surgery but I am so happy to hear you got thru it ok. My human Diane writes for me so if there are mistakes, blame her, ok? She types too fast sometimes. I bookmarked your blog so I can read about your recovery and your fun adventures. I don't have a blog but I will keep checking in on you to see how you are doing, ok?
Your new friend,
Indiana Bones Taylor
We will keep Buddy and all of you in our prayers and
Happy "not" Birthday!! per Madi's orders:)
