Ditto everyone!! And loving looking at pictures of his handsome self!!😎
Jak's on a lot of good pain meds, so no worries about wobbly legs or not being mobile yet. Yoi'll see a difference when the patch is off and out of his system. Don't know how much Trazodone he is on. but that will definitely zonk him out. And even the Gabapentin can cause a sedation effect in some dogs.
Of course with your Vet's guidance, after the patch is off, maybe the Trazedone can be eliminated too, or only used intermittently. As everyone said though, rest and having is pain properly managed are really good right now .
Jak will get more and more steady on his feet on his own timeframe. Oh yes he will! That sparkle will be back before you know it!

Thank you all for the sweet comments and continued support, this community is amazing. I wanted to give you guys another update:

He's moving! I'm so proud of him. Just a few days ago I was in a bit of a panic and searching all the threads on here to get some kind of "timeline", scared that he wasn't making progress....then like magic, in the past few days he has been hopping around unassisted. I know he has a long way to go in rebuilding his strength but I'm so proud of this guy. Oh wait, I said that already 😛
Tomorrow will be 10 days, so he'll go in to see the original vet to have the stitches removed. From there, I'm planning on moving to a local VCA that is AAHA-certified.
