Update on Tukker

You might remember the dog rescue that we did on Golden Ears a while back ... here's an update (and picture) from Kierstie on Tukker's progress:

I thought I'd send you an update on Tukker, since it's been quite some time since we've been in contact. He had his surgery August 22nd which involved a bone graft from his shoulder and a surgical steel plate inserted in his 'wrist' joint! The surgery took just over 2 hours. The reason we had to wait so long for the surgery was because he has an insane pain tolerance and gave no indication that the splint was wearing on his forearm, turns out it rubbed right down to the tendons so they had to repair that first!!! At the peak, he had about 30 stitches in his arm. He only spend a night at the vets and then he was able to come home, which has made the recovery period very interesting!! He has taken a real hate to the cone and when its put on his head he seems to think its a good idea to squeal it along the walls!! He should be completely healed and out of his cast by Thanksgiving!!! Poor guy!!
