It started one day when I went to let the dogs in. Jed was laying in front of the door and spun around really quick and hard and yelped. HE came in and his leg was just hanging there limp and I knew it was broken. Took him to the vat and was told he had broken it in three places basically shattering the bone and breaking the ball of of the large bone. Vet put two large pins in but because of the way it was broken had to put smaller wires into the other side. Unfortunately it did not work and it was too badly broken they had to amputate.  My only concern was he was not in pain or going to suffer.

Jed in his cast, why pink???

After he healed took him out hunting several time for short little jaunts and he did better the I thought.  here is the first Quail he pointed and retrieved all on his own.

Here he is just a few days ago in the yard as happy as a clam.  he doesn't know or are that leg is gone. He just wants those wabbits that live over in the next yard.

Ripping around the yard having a good old time.

Jed Pre Surgery in all his glory. He will be back and as good as ever.
