"Little" Eli and his indestructible new knee

Two weeks ago, "Little" Eli had to have knee surgery- a TTA- cruciate ligament replacement/rebuild. And while I'm no veterinarian, I know some pretty darn good ones... they could certainly explain it much better.

Because of the way he is built, his knee couldn't support his body weight- which is quite common in big dogs. So, they built a titanium cage to reshape the way his knee works... and he is doing great.

I bought him a rawhide bone the day before surgery, but we saved it until last night, and man, was he thrilled.

He isn't exactly looking forward to 6 more weeks on house arrest... but it will give him many more years of running around like a maniac... so its worth it!

Maybe after recovery I can post a picture of his famous spin-a-rama...

Feel better soon, "my" sweet boy.
