Rocky Rock Star now known as Geordie is one of the three dogs having surgery today. Rocky is having his knee repaired for a full tear of his cruciate ligament. The orthopedic specialist who is doing the surgery says it is extremely rare to see such an injury in a young pup. He has advised us that Geordie's other knee is also problematic and that it is likely to blow also in the future. Geordie also has hips that are not great -- all of this is genetic and the result of careless breeding.
Lucky for Geordie, the family who was set to adopt him prior to the discovery of his cruciate injury are still committed to adopting him and are "fostering to adopt" him and are prepared to get him through the lengthy recovery period after this surgery.

Beautiful Jade is also in surgery today, having TPLO done on her torn cruciate ligament. She will be recovering in a loving foster home before being available to join an adoptive family.
Jade is a total love bug, gets along with everyone and is cute as a button.

Also having surgery today is Mackenzie. This sweet girl had previously had cherry eye surgery but after a month it failed and the cherry eye popped back out. This was something we had anticipated given how extensive the damage was to her eye after her previous owners had left the condition untreated for so many years. Her cherry eye popped back out the day before she was to be adopted. Poor Macaroni! We are having the eye repaired again and have our fingers and paws crossed that the surgery is successful.
