Been super busy so I haven’t had time to post, but am glad to report that Artemis continues to improve daily. I’m surprised and thankful for his resiliency and the way he’s coped with having to relearn everything since losing his leg. The night before last we finally made it up the big set of stairs and got to sleep in our own beds for the first time since 4 days before his amputation. He’s getting up and down the short set of steps on his own and his appetite is back to normal. The edema is finally almost completely gone except for the very bottom of the incision site and the top only has a few scabby parts left.
We are home with the family for Thanksgiving and he took the 8 hour drive in stride and is getting back to being a pro getting into and out of our SUV. The harness helps A LOT in maneuvering him around – he and I are pretty close in weight and with it I can get him up and down the steps and in and out of the truck by myself. He’s also loving all the attention by the family and all the smells and acres of land he can explore at my in-laws’ house.
I’ll try to get back on and post some pictures for his progress.
so glad to hear everything is going so well and moose is doing so well!! big thanksgiving trip – we definitely need pictures of our buddy and all his adventures!!
