I had my 8 week post-op appointment today. The bone is about 40% fused. I was cleared to transition from the boot to supportive shoes, but it sounds like my healing is a little behind schedule.

I’m kind of scared to walk and I’m not sure what I could be doing to support the bone fusion. I’m also spiraling because i just spent the past 8 weeks turning my life upside down for this procedure and I’m terrified I’m going to be left worse off than before or needing to re-hash the surgery on the foot.

Has anyone else had this? What did you do?

We have a pit mix that is prone to breaking nails. I’d say every 6 months or so, we get a bad enough one where we’re at the vet so they can remove the hanging nail and administer antibiotics.

We loved the Petwell Clinic in Arvada. We thought they always provided decent care and were reasonable for a vet. Unfortunately, it suddenly closed last year and as we’re trying other places we are getting absolutely money gouged to get our dog treated.

Any recommendations for a “reasonable” vet around here? We live in the Standley Lake area of Westminster.
