Roczens journey post surgery
24 August 2022
Hello to all Roczens generous supporters,
After Roczens surgery he suffered from nasty infection in both elbows and a separation of the joint which led to lots of joint fluid leaking out. He spent a lot of time with the lovely ladies at Vets North in Silverdale as they were determined to get him back on track to improvement. He has been on a tonne of antibiotics and painkillers and has had a cone on his head 24/7. Slowly his wounds have started to heal, he has built up strength in his legs and can wander around the house and backyard under supervision. He has been on a weight management diet which he has thoroughly enjoyed consisting of wet food and lots of roast meats used to wrap up his pills. Although it has taken a long time to recover and having a lot more time to go, he has amazed us with his resilience and happy nature. He enjoys his trips to the vets and the attention he gets from his new extended family. Until his wounds are fully healed he still remains in the cone and inside in his pen but his new normal has not seemed to upset him and he still has a big goofy smile on his face. The next step will be physiotherapy and working towards the ability to run around with the kids during summer.
Thank you to all that have followed his story and helped where they can. He is one loved dog 🥰
