Beau's Cruciate Surgery

About a week and a half ago, Beau started limping. I didn't really think anything of it because usually he stops in a day or so. He didn't this time. I took him to the vet and lo and behold he had torn his ACL. So the only okay option was surgery. I wasn't excited and I'm sure if Beau knew what was coming he wouldn't have been either. On June 1st, 2011, he went in for a cruciate surgery. He came home that night and was all bandaged up and sore. He didn't feel good at all. I took some pictures the day after surgery.

This is the incision all sewn up the day after he got home


Needless to say, it was a rough couple of days for him. On a happier note, he is doing lots better and is even walking on his leg now. Scott still calls him Shaved Bum, but oh well. Hopefully his hair will grow back in before winter time.

Here are some pictures of Beau one week after his surgery.
