Thanks Lori and Ty!! Ill be sure to request that. Calvert is on vetprofen for pq ain. He doesn't seem to be on too much discomfort.

I rescued Calvert in March of this year from the local humane society. He and 3 or 4 others were found in a dumpster in the middle of January, while we were experiencing temps around -30. Only two survived. Calvert was with a foster for about a month and a half before I adopted him. He has overcame MANY challenges. Seperation anxiety and a psychological inability to stop drinking water were the worst. Whenever he would be given water, he would drink the whole bowl without stopping, then he would vomit.it took 2 months for him to develop normal drinking habits. And to go along with the drinking was the peeing. He would pee when he was lay in down, when he was walking, in his sleep. He peed ALL the time. It was impossible to potty train. As time went by though, calvert adjusted, things got better.

Now I live in a rural area and my dogs go out to use the restroom. We do not have a fenced in yard, and not much traffic comes by my house. Thursday June 12th Calvert was hit by an F250. I was not home at the time. Thankfully the person stopped and knocked. My roommate was able to get him to the vet right away. He got a shot for shock, and x rays showed no broken bones, however Calvert was unable to move his front right paw. The vet explained the radial nerve was either pinched, temporarily causing paralysis, or it was completely severed. Calvert came home, when he walked his paw dragged, but he adjusted. He started getting sores on the top of the paw from dragging. Unfortunately this set his potty training back. He was peeing while laying and just not making it outside. He had weekly check ups to assess if he was regaining any sensation. Each time, there was no change. A week ago we decided amputation was the best treatment. I felt he would get around more gracefully and his bad leg wouldn't get hung up, and the sores wouldn't get infected. He was already adjusted to walking on three legs anyway.

Last Wednesday was his surgery. It went well. The incision looks good. And he was walking and able to come home the next day. He moved with so much more ease. He gets staples out in 2 weeks.
