Luke’s 6 week check up was yesterday. The doctor noticed his legs are still really stiff, so he said to double the physical therapy. :-0 He also said its okay to take him on walks now!! Yay…when the weather improves, ill take him for a walk and video tape it for everyone. Other then the stiffness, he said Lucas is improving really well. We asked about the 3 other disc and about the laser. Doc said the laser probably wont be there for another few months, and we should wait up to a year to make sure Lucas is fully recovered. Sounds like he recommended we get the laser done, cause he said luke is 6 times likely to have another disc rupture again. And we don’t want this to happen again! There could be high risk he could be paralyzed forever if he has another rupture. I’m going to still stay really strict with him and keep watching him 24-7 to make sure he doesn’t do anything ’stupid’.

Hi there,
I stumbled upon your site. Your doxie is so cute. The reason I am writing to you is because my doxie just had a surgery last weekend. It’s been a week and he seems to be recovering fast. He is still wobbly, but definitely much better. The only thing is that he is too eager to go out, and he started whining when I go out of the room without him (i have to restrain him in a small area). He wanted to jump on my bed just a few mins ago!
Anyway, I hope your Lucas is 100% recovered now… from now on I need to be extremely careful with Odie. I am actually thinking about moving to a place that is without stairs.
Best Regards,
Elsa
