    Well we are now at week 3 after Toby’s surgery. Last week after xrays it was discovered that his growth plate had cracked. So a plan was put in place to remove the pins from his leg this week. Pins came out Monday and he’s been back

    At vets all day today managing the pain. The hope now is that the elbow and ulna that was rotated will stay in place with no pins in place to hold it so fingers crossed. Day one no pins and X-ray shows everything is where it should be!!! Toby has started physio and is enjoying all the massages that he is getting!!! See the new photos

      Hi Toby. Good to see you last week. My Nana thinks you are cute just like me. How are you getting

      on as another week has gone by. I think you are a brave wee fellow and hopefully when this is all over

      for you, we can have a catch up and a chat ( or woofs ). Well look after yourself and take care.

      Love from your friend Leo - xox

    Toby came through his 4.5 hour surgery on 29 October. His Ulner had to be broken in 2 places to get it aligned and then all pinned into place. See photos. He has to keep the frame on for 1 month with weekly X-rays to check it is still in place.

      Morning Toby. Hope you managed to have some sleep and are not in too much pain.

      What a big operation it was. We were thinking of you and hopefully each day is a little better

      than the one before. Looking forward to seeing you soon - one little dog to another.

      Sending you lots of licks - Leo.
