Chris just stopped in. Herc had his operation and came through it well.
They put three hard plastic (not steal, something about the cold)rods on the top, and sides of his leg and drilled pins through them into his bone. He was very sleepy when they saw him but he was still able to wag that little stump of a tail :D Im sure he will do just fine, he is a mighty little dog and very well loved.
Chris and Jen send all there love and thank yous to all you kind, caring people. They felt really good to hear that so many wonderful people were willing to help them out.
Thank You Pet Talkers, you are true Angels !

Awwwwwww....poor little Hercules :( You know, Herc, I just recently transported a little boy named Cheech to his forever home. He broke his leg too! It was a back leg with him, and he had decided that he needed to play with the "big" dogs, when he was just a pup. You know what? He's doing great!!! He had to be quiet for a while, but after that, he cut loose and had a big time! :D I'm sure you will too.
Hang in there little buddy. It will all be ok!

in the beginning of the thread i wanted to cry because i felt horribal, my now my eyes are all teared up out of joy. i love happy tales like this! so real, but sooooo much like a faerie tale!

I feel so bad for little Herc having to go through such an ordeal. These little ones are fragile. It doesn't take much. He will probably mend nicely, but it just is so upsetting to think of him in any kind of pain. Prayers for Herc's fast and complete recovery everybody.

Herc is in my thoughts and prayers. I was sooo sad when I read this this morning. My godmom just had one of her puppies in a cast... a little dachsund! They are so tiny and yet have this huge thing on their leg! I'm sure Herc is a trooper and will pull thru just fine!
That is so wonderful how you all are pulling together... I wouldn't have expected anything less though. You are wonderful :D!
Good luck and give Herc a big kiss for me and my girls :D!

Poor little Herc! I'm really glad he's alright, though! ;)
That's amazing... I think Herc really was touched by an Angel!

Oh poor little baby!!!!! I'm glad Herc got through the surgery and I hope the road to recovery is a smooth one. He'll be in my prayers.

Poor little baby! Glad to hear that he will be okay! Those puppy bones can heal quickly!
This is like a reality check for all of us with pets! Who knows when accidents or illness in a pet might demand a great deal of money? It certainly wasn't expected in a puppy! I know some people who's dog got sick very quickly with a serious illness, and they had not only the initial costs of stabilizing and diagnosing the dog, but then $100 treatments each week or so. Luckily, after a few treatments, the dog stabilized to a point where she won't need more treatments for a long time. Scary, isn't it - not only that your pet is sick or hurt, but also there's the underlying fear that you'll go broke!
Somehow, God comes in and saves the day, like with little Herc!! :D

I'm glad to hear that Herc is going to be fine. This story only reaffirms to me that dog people are the best people!

Sometimes is good to read a post late ;) This way I get not only the bad news but the good ones at the end.
I'm so very sorry little Herc had to go through such a painful experience and your family through such anxiety. But it's so good to know that the pup is doing well, on his way to recovery, and your brother and sister-in-law won't have to worry about the vet's bills. There was indeed a guardian angel looking over all of you and ready to reward you for your love for one another and your compassion for the little one. I hope the angel stays with you for a very long time.

So glad to hear that little Herc is on the mend :) Please give your family my love and little Herc a kiss when you see him! What a brave little boy you are Herc!!
