Back from the vet. Stitches still holding up good, no fever, dehiscence repair (notice the new word) looking good.

The vet says that there is pain in the hip and in the knee. The rescue said to try Rimadyl for two weeks to see if it helps. She seems to think that maybe he injured himself by falling down the icy stairs at the house she picked him up at. When she had seen him the previous day, he was walking fine. So we are going to hope for just an injury and not HD or ACL at this time. If this does not work than we will try something else.
Good thing I am a canine liver disease Mom, so I will be at the ready to observe any liver malfunctions while on the drug. He is on a lower dosage. Wish him luck that this is just an injury and the Rimadyl will do the trick.

Today I really had to laugh. When we brought Gaylord back from the vet, Killian brought him a toy and did a slight play bow and did a little bark at him. I haven't seen him do that in a long time!!!! Apparently G/L does not know how to play because he just stood there and looked at him. Shiloh is still not sure of him. She likes him and then she barks at him. She just can't decide!
