    Just a quick update on our boy, as this page has been quite neglected over the last few very busy months.

    First off thank you so so much to everyone that has donated so far and has shared Bears page with their family and friends.

    On Tuesday December 9th 2014 Bear underwent a Hip Replacement in his left side. He spent just shy of a week at VSG Carrington Animal Hospital being closely monitored by an amazing team of nurses and surgeons l who did an excellent job of keeping him comfortable and happy. After being crated for 6 weeks, I don't know if that was harder on him or us, his surgeon couldn't be happier with his progress so far. We have already noticed such an improvement in Bears movements and he seems a lot happier with his new titanium hip.

    That being said we would still love to have his right side operated on, hence this page still going, so he is as good as new and to keep him pain free for the rest of his long life.

    I've added a few more photos of his recovery to the album.

    Again, thank you so so much for the donations so far! :)

  • An update on our boy

      13 October 2014

    Just a quick update on Bears progress. He is starting to struggle more and more with everyday tasks, we've started taking him for shorter walks as he decides he has had enough not very far into them. He had his first session at Water Woofs last week, they pop him in a tank of water and walk him on an underwater treadmill, this is a good way to exercise him without putting to much stress on his hips and joints. He is still his usual happy self desperately wanting to chase a ball in the park. Lets keep those donations coming so he can. We really really appreciate everyone who has donated so far. We cant thank you enough!
