No more splint

Well I took clyde for his vet appointment, and well we were their decided to take an xray a week earlier. The xray looked very good from a month ago, and could see the area of the bone that had really filled in well. They cleaned the leg and I decided after talking with Dr. Stanclift that we would not put the splint back on. It had caused two area's to be affected and he does not need that. They wrapped it with extra padding and covered it with vet wrap. Clyde was as excited to leave as he was to go.

The plan is to keep him in the pen so he has minimal movement. I will continue to allow him to go potty in the small fenced area. The next checkup will be the 17th of march, unless otherwise needed. I will continue to use the baytril for another week and if needed give pain meds.

Clyde was happy to get home and last night was a good one. He has to have the head cone on periodically through out the day, so as to not attempt to lick the new bandage. All in all he has been so amazing in this journey.

Today I meet with Cecilia the editor of Animal Life and discuss Clyde's story for the march issue. I hope it will give insight for all of the Great work that the Dr.'s and staff throughout clyde's journey have done to save his life. I will let you all know how it goes, and don't forget to pick up a copy at your vets office or at your local pet store. God Bless from Clyde, Molly and I.
