Our local news channel(Bozeman MT) is doing a piece tomorrow night on a tripawd with arthritis and the advancements in veterinary medicine that are helping. I will post the link after they show it on the 10 pm news. Always great to see the word getting out there!
Hi to everyone! I've been busy with our new puppy and new horse plus year end with work so was MIA. Been missing the group and hope to get back here more often now.
Luanne and Team Shooter
Spirit Shooter was a Miniature Australian Shepherd who was diagnosed with a MCT and had a LF amp 1/28/13 at 13-1/2 years old.
Shooter crossed the Bridge on 8/28/13, his 7 month ampuversary and two weeks from his 14th birthday.
LUANNE!!!! LUUUUUUANNE! Luanne and Team Shooter! So good to hear from you!!!
It sounds like the news channel piece will be informative and educational. Look forward tomit.
Sounds like you have your hands full! As you've probably seen, so many of "us"....us meaning "family at the Bridge"....have all been sent dogs. Can't wait to see more pics of your pup!
Sending you lots of love!

What a great advancement for any dog with this type of arthritis. If the link doesn't work just go to kbzk.com and you should be able to find it.

Hey!!! That's Murphy's doctor! He did all eight of Murph's surgeries, including the total hip replacement. Murphy's THR was the fourth one he had done on a Tripawd. Great guy and a wonderful doctor.
Kathi and Murphy
Murphy is a five year old Lab/Chessie cross. He was hit by a car on 10/29/12 and became a Tripawd on 11/24/12. On 2/5/13, he had a total hip replacement on his remaining back leg. He has absolutely no idea that he has only three legs!
UPDATE: Murphy lived his life to the fullest, right up until an aggressive bone lesion took him across the Rainbow Bridge on April 9, 2015 and he gained his membership in the April Angels. Run free, my love. You deserve it!
WHooooo wheeeee! Do we live in a great technology time or WHAT?! This is fantastic. I know of one Tripawd in particular with elbow displaysia who might be able to benefit. Thanks for sharing Luanne. And Cathy that is SO cool the story is about Dr. Acker's procedure, he is such a pawesome doc!
