Willy is recovering well from the tooth extraction. He joined us for walkies yesterday - Sunday. After 2 days of only being in the back yard. He was thrilled! He feels fine, lol, he even snagged a piece of a crunchy treat from Lacey. He has learned to chew on the other side for now. (Once it all heals, he can chew anywhere with no pain). That now empty space has 2 stitches in, which will dissolve over time.

I haven't seen any change in his posture. I have been researching and getting tons of info. Seems this (the fluid build up) is more likely due to arthritis. Since he has NO limp or change in his gait, not likely to be ligament related. Once person sent me a link to a youtube vid which shows how I can give him massage to help this. There is a Yahoo group called "Conservative Management" which is mostly for ACL and CCL tears, and several folks on there suggested I get acupressure for him.

Thanks for asking, Elyse.
