Here is a picture of Bocán from about a week ago. As the vet predicted, he's just beginning to touch the floor with his left rear foot, but still holds it completely off the floor when hopping around.
We dropped him off at Cascade Veterinary Referral Center early this morning for his TPLO surgery.
TPLO, or Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy is a surgical procedure that will modify the geometry of his stifle (rear knee joint), so that he can regain the use of his left rear leg.
We hope he will be well enough to come home tomorrow afternoon, to begin a long recovery process. Meanwhile, we're getting his recovery area prepared...
