Hi there Belle's family. It's a while ago and my memory isn't great, but Norris had his op in late-ish June and after a few weeks being confined to the house (on a lead when moving between rooms and in the garden) he started 10 min walks 2 or 3 times a day. He then had a checkup around 6 or 7 weeks after surgery and the xrays showed the healing was progressing as it should but there was more to come and the increasing controlled exercise was to continue. At the time he left us in the August I'm pretty sure he was up to around 30 mins lead walking. I think after around a further month with his new family he was allowed off lead (should this be wanted!) which would have been in the September that year. If your girl was special to you before... I'm sure she'll be even more special now :-)) We're keeping everything crossed she is allowed home tomorrow. xxxx

My boy Bouncer broke his front leg very badly and was looked after by the Willows. It was heavily plated, and the plates stayed in for nearly five years - in the end he started to get nfections and the vets there thought the best thing was to take them out! They were right. He lived a very happy and full life with the plates and without and is now chasing bunnies in the sky! Just do exactly what the Willows say - I lived for about three months with my heart in my mouth - the worst bit for me was managing the wound area cos the skin is soooo fragile and Bouncer not understanding that cuddles and fuss and pretty much everything had to be done very very carefully. I had another grey at the time too so did not let them out together and it was a long time about 3 months) before I let Bouncer off the lead in the garden - I was that woman with the torch at night -. But the fab people at the Willows will give you all the information and details you need and they have a brilliant out of hours emergency service and follow up. Belle is a lucky girl to have you and them! Bouncer broke his leg down a rabbit hole so I have always been anxious about letting my dogs run off lead since. Daisydog however is too posh to run and dawdles gracefully. Big hugs from us. Linda and Paul can give you lots of helpful hints too.
