My seven year old Sheltie Bailey has just had surgery on his front wrist. Due to a previous injury and a genetic condition his foot rolled outward and he could no longer walk without pain. He had an arthrodesis surgery – or fusion of his joint. He will be in his cast for 8 weeks and he has been kenneled for the first week 24 hrs a day. There should be a positive outcome for him though. The goal is to have him waling again without pain.
Oh my, Sandy! Hugs Give him lots of cookies and keep us posted!

My Sheltie did not like the cone, put it on in the Vets office and did not get a block down the road and she had it off…..
Sandy Parod-Partain
Bailey and I thank you for your well wishes! He was in a lot of pain the first week but things are much better. He has to wear his beautiful cone until his cast is off. He isn’t too happy about that but it’s for his benefit. He should be walking by the middle of December! We will send another picture. Thanks again to all you kind sheltie lovers!

Oh my heart goes out to Bailey! I really hope the surgery accomplishes the goal of relieving pain and making him more mobile. I hope he likes low cal treats, since he’s not exercising! My girls love baby carrots….
Big hugs to Bailey.

Dear Bailey,
You are a very brave little Sheepie Dog! Please rest and get well soon! Nice to get your surgery done now, for next summer you can have fun again. We all love you and are thinking of you and your Mama ^..^

Look at that sweet little face, the eyes seem to be saying, “What just happened here, what did I do to deserve this?” He just doesn’t understand that you did this for his own good Sandy, fortunately the end result will be such good news that in a short time he will forget the cone of shame. In the mean time, lots of hugs, kisses and oh, an extra cookie or two might help.

Poor baby. Sending positive healing energy. My dog also had this surgery about 3 years ago. He tore the ligaments at the joint and so he needed 2 plates to fuse the bones. Now he runs just fine, but the the problem is walking on the sidewalk. He drags a bit and so his nails would grind down too fast (would bleed at every walk). I just keep him on the grass now.

The cone of shame : )

I had similar surgery to fuse my hand/wrist – but I didn’t have to wear a cone! Lol. Best of luck to that cutie.

We had our sheltie casted for a leg injury also. Press and seal plastic wrap was our best friend when she had to do her business. It kept the cast nice and dry.
Your little darling will do great. Soo cute.
