Indy update 
posted by John at 8:03 AM

When DogBlog happens on Friday, I hope to have a few digital pictures of Indy's surgery - but meantime, here is the scoop. She is scheduled for a 2pm Thurs date with Dr. Russell Fugazzi at Orchard Hill Veterinary Hospital. The procedure will be one of replacing her cranial cruciate ligament (the dog equiv of the human ACL that several of my soccer players have gone down with) with a 16 gauge surgical monofiliment. Her recovery course will then be 4-5 months, with the first three weeks crated exclusively, then a very strict course of physical therapy, to guard against reinjuring the current leg, or bilaterally injuring the OTHER one.

On the plus side, we have found a great therapeutic benefit from having Indy in the classroom with my high-risk kids, and she has been invited to (and will) visit throughout her recovery period.

Thanks to everyone who has used the paypal link (on the left) to help out with the procedure - we haven't touched the actual surgery cost yet, but we've just about covered the cost of post-op boarding, and may make an impact on the pain management meds! (every little bit helps)
