Atlas in pain

So Atlas has been favoring his rear right leg... I've been concerned so right after he was neutered (this week) I had full X rays done- it revealed torn ligaments in his knee... THEN this morning when we woke up his groin area was swollen the size of a baseball... so off to emergency... and we found the incision was infected. So now my poor angel boy is in so much pain. he wont even sit down.. sore knee, sore groin... tons of drugs and a huge cone on his head.
With all this... he just stands and smiles at me. I love this little boy.

OUCH!! Poor Atlas! Is he getting any pain meds?

Hope he is feeling better soon.

OH no...time to get that dark cloud from over that sweet boy's head 8O

I hope he's on the mend :D :D :D
Oh, that poor pup! The tear is troubling since it is difficult in a large dog......if he's still small enough it may mend itself. But if the tear is the result of poor hips.....that's another story.

As for the infection.........that is sheer misery. Amazing how with all their pain they can still smile and charm us. Something to be learned there...

May that cutie heal quickly.
awww
poor Atlas

It is amazing how they always seem happy no matter what...

His Xrays showed his hips in good condition- everything looked right where it should be.
I think the tear came from running like a monster through the garden... he is speedy fast.
I don't want this to become a lifelong problem, so I will be watching this closely.
Poor puppy. Give him a cuddle from me!
Poor baby boy. :( Hoping the swelling
goes down fast and his knee heals nicely.
Oh poor Atlas. :(

Hope he feels better and mends soon.

Poor Baby! Tell him Maggie feels his pain!

Gooood. Because if the hips/femur aren't right, tears continue.
