Poor sweet Norm. I think our Ernst had that, isn't the surgery like a bizillion dollars? He recovered fully though.

Now I remember the hard part - we had to board our other dog for a while because Ernst wasn't allowed to be too active. But Norm's an only child, right?

Hugs and treats to Norm.

norm

oh god don't say a bizallion dollars!! :(


yeah he's an only child but he isn't exactly a lump of fur oh boy is this gonna be not fun :evil:


ron, i'm not sure what happened...last week on our walk he started kinda limping but nothing too bad...and then a couple mornings ago after being in the backyard for a while he was limping badly and couldn't put any weight on it

Maggie Mae started limping on her walks, then snapped at a child one day,
it turned out to be a brain tumor close to her inner ear.
She was gone a short 10 weeks later...

I'll pray it is something very treatable for Norm, no matter the cost.
Norm is very lovely and I know much loved.

Maggie Mae too.

Sorry to hear about norm... price is $1500-3000 (I hope he only needs one knee done)
I've seen lots of torn ligament surgeries, they do really well. Depending on when you get the surgery, Norm may be able to go to Montana, just not be able to run around and play.

whispering hands

I know I haven't visited the doggie peeps in a while,
I've had a lot of stupid himan shit going on lately.
But I am do sorry to hear about Little Norm, he has
the best owner though, so I know he'll pull through
ok! Hugs and good vibes from the Tomsen pets, Zoe (doggie)
and Tommy The Cat ( obviously a kitty)! We're
all rooting for good results and a successful recovery!

if it makes you feel any better, a girl I worked with, her dog had the right knee done. As soon as the incision healed, he started bouncing all over the place again, and then tore the left knee...back in for surgery. She wasn't too happy.

Poor Normie...poor norm's wallet/bank account.

Bummer. But this sentence encouraged me:

Most dogs (over 90%) are expected to regain a very active and athletic lifestyle with no post-operative complications and without the need for any long-term pain relieving medication.

Here's to a speedy recovery, Norm!
