Ace is Back at Home!

Ace made it through surgery well yesterday and is back home with me and his foster friends. It was so sad when I went to pick him up. He had lots of tears running from his eyes and was shaking like a leaf. Once I got him in the car and he realized that he was back with me, he stopped shaking and just kept rubbing on me to pet him.

Ace has to be on 3 different medicines for a little while and get bandage changes every 5-7 days. He will have rechecks at 4 weeks and 8 weeks that will cost $250 each. Ace should also be going through physical therapy, so hopefully if we raise enough money he can get the physical therapy he needs to recover sooner. He has a long road ahead of him, but has a loving home to recover in.

Once his leg starts to heal more, we will find out if he needs surgery on his other leg as well. The pictures here are of Ace enjoying being home and getting a nice rub down!

The blue bandage is the leg he had surgery on. It required the removal of a small piece of bone, a slight rotation, a bone graph from his shoulder, a metal plate, and 5 screws! Poor Ace had to go through quite a bit! The green bandage is the leg that had 2 fractures that healed on their own but with a bad deformity that may require surgery so he can walk without pain or discomfort. Oh, and to add to it all, Ace was also neutered at the same time thanks to the wonderful doctors!
