Last friday, the day before his check up…i came home from work and noticed lucas’ bark was different. Like its scratchy and a bit hoarse. I was very worried cause the last time this happened 3 days later he was paralyzed and he was going in for surgery for a ruptured disc. I examined him making sure he was walking okay, and to make sure there were no signs of a ruptured disc. No watery eyes, no muscle/body stiffness, he was peeing and pooping…there were absolutely no signs of anything serious and the fact that we had a checkup with the doc the next morning i felt okay. We talked to him about his nerves and about his legs locking up which i explained in previously postings. He assured me that it was just a stage which i figured it was as he went thru alot of different stages during his first surgery recovery. His nerves are just getting their feeling back in them and the same with his bark. Since lucas lost his voice completely before he went into surgery, were all amazed that he can even bark at all. So he told us lucas looks great, and theres nothing to worry about with his bark. His personality and playfulness shows us all that hes just being lucas and this is how his bark is and prolly will be. I remember after his first surgery his bark was different and i was a bit sad cause i knew id never hear his ‘normal’ bark again. but then i got used to this new bark, and now ill just have to get used to this hoarse scratchy voice. As long as he is happy and enjoying life like he is then any bark will do. One good thing the past two weeks there has been no locking of his legs when he goes #2. Actually he can now hold up his weight by himself. He doesnt need me to hold him in that postition anymore. Ahh so proud!
