Kai is back from his surgury! [Pictures]

Everything went well. Dr. Foukal said that he was expecting to see something very obvious but he found that the entire area was swelling. A piece of the tissue was sent to the lab for testing; I guess we'll find out more on Friday when they send back the results. We're not all that sure what it was causing him to limp. He said it may be a tumor growing around the joints but nothing's for certain yet.

I was in a trigger-happy mood so here are some pictures of Kai (and a couple of Kaedyn):

While we were waiting to see Kai, two kitties came in. He barked at first but downed when I told him to and settled down! :D

The little guy didn't want to stay off his paw. He tried jumping on the couch right away but didn't make it. Kaedyn tried playing with him but the poor guy couldn't do anything but let Kaedyn jump on him before I got to them. :o

And of course, following our post-surgury tradition, they got a plain hamburger.

Waiting til I say it's okay..

Thanks to everyone who sent good vibes towards our way. I know it was a minor surgury but I couldn't help but worry the entire time. I'm going to be a nutcase from now until friday when we find out the results.

Kai, I hope everything will be ok for you. You and Kae is sooooooo cute. :D Hugs to you!!!

Aww Kai, I hope you get back to normal soon. :) Hugs!

YAAYYY!!! I'm glad Kai is back! I hope he gets better soon and you find out what's wrong! Poor boy :(

Look! They're buddies!!!!!!:D :D :D So cute!!!

Hello Kai! I'm thinking about you and hoping all the test results come back with good results. Get well soon, little one!

Robin :)

So glas Kai is back, and fingers crossed for the results.

Very cute :) I'm glad he came out of surgery ok, I hope the test comes back with good conclusive results. Waiting sucks!

Get well soon, Kai!

Awww, yay! :)

Glad to hear the surgery went well.. I hope the results are good. *crosses fingers*

Cute pictures. :D

good news! hope the results are a-ok :)

psst - tell him the hamburger was from me so he loves me next time!!! ;)

Glad to hear he's home and doing fine. He looks pretty happy for a dog who just had surgery:D

Kisses to you Kai man!

I think I missed something, but anyway, I am glad Kai got the surgery over with. Now time to send prayers and well wishes, that his test turns out okay.

I think the pictures are all so good, I really enjoyed those sweet pictures, Thanks!

Willie:)

Your shelties are really beautiful. I especially like Kaedyn's floppy ears :) I hope everything goes OK with Kai and he gets back to normal soon!

OMG, this is the sweetest pic!

I also love the one of Kai going for the bun before the hamburger!! Hehe!

Thank you all for your well wishes and lovely comments. :)

He has been a real trooper so far. I'm guessing he doesn't feel much pain because I have to actually force him to stay down so he doesn't hurt himself. He hasn't limped since we got home so I'm hoping we won't have to see the vet for a very long time! :D *crosses fingers*

Glad Kai is home and recovering. Hope the tests come back okay.

I am sorry and don't know how I missed this! Glad Kai is home and doing well. I love that first pic of him. He's so cute. Don't like the ones in the cage. Didn't that make you sad? I know I couldn't stand to see Duke in his. Anyway, glad he's doing well and hopefully the tissue wasn't bad.

I'm happy to hear that Kai is back home and things went well. :) I'll keep sending some prayers hoping that the results are positive ones.

Great pictures! :D Kaedyn is gonna be so lonely without Kai to jump on :p

It is good that Kai is doing well.
Good recovera Kai.

Your dogs are gourgeous!

Rosana
and
Rex

I missed something too - but I'm glad Kai is doing so well!

:) Thanks for the nice comments.

He's doing really well today (so far). He just doesn't want to stay off that paw! While I was preparing his breakfast and meds, he came running upstairs like nothing was wrong. :o

Yeah.. the pictures look pretty sad but he was so cheerful when he was in his cage. He was all bum wags! :D :p

Glad the surgury went well! He sure is a cute dog!:) I'm sure they enjoyed their hamburgers!

Kai sweetheart, glad to see you back home with your Mom and brother. Looks like you got a special treat too! :D

Stay off that leg now, I know it's tough, such a little ball of energy you are, but Mom knows best ;).

Ash, so glad to see he is looking good. Be sure to let us know when the vet gets back with you :)

I am glad everything went well, and Kai is
recovering.
Get well soon sweetie.
