... is great! He's napping now after an eventful day to the vet and chasing the cat. Half of the stitches were taken out. He'll have to wait til Friday to check on the rest. He's got a few areas that are a little bloody, but no infections or other troubles! I put several pics up on the blog "Connor's Story" from day 1 through today, though I havent written anything there yet... I hope I did it right!

Great photos of Connor and Chloe! big-grin

Just a couple things to consider … when posting updates about your blog posts here in the forums, be sure to include a link to Connor's blog so members know where to find it. You also added a new page to your blog with the photos, which is great, but only new posts appear in the recent blog posts widget above and throughout Jerry's blog pages.

So, if you want others to be notified about your new blog posts, add future updates from your Dashboard -> Posts -> Add New tab and include a link when you mention it in the forums (or add it to your forum profile signature). Hope this helps … you'll find much more help for getting started with your blog in our Tripawds tutorial videos. If you have any questions, just ask in the Tech Support forum!

Beth- well thankfully, Connor's problems were from an accident, not cancer or any illness. So our next steps are just recovery & protecting the other legs. How is Max doing? I saw that many people on here had a lot of advice for you. Have you found any options for him?

Oh that is great, well not the accident but that he didn't have an illness also. smile

 

Max is doing a lot better, everyone has been so great. We have started him on an organic diet and are working on the supplement side of things. He is amazing!

 

Thanks so much for your comments and concern.
