Nora recently visited us for a post-operative check following surgery for a luxating patella (a kneecap that slips out of its normal position). The good news is that Nora is doing brilliantly.
The bad news? Nora forgot that recovery is supposed to involve rest. 🤭
While it can be encouraging to see pets feeling brighter and more comfortable after surgery, it's important to remember that healing tissues still need time. Restricting exercise during the recovery period is one of the most important factors in achieving the best possible long-term outcome.
Nora, however, seems to be operating under the assumption that feeling better means returning immediately to full-speed puppy mode. 🏃♀️💨
We're delighted with her progress... but we're fairly certain her owners deserve an award for trying to enforce the recovery plan. 🏆❤️
If you've ever tried to keep a happy puppy calm, you'll understand the challenge! ⬇️🐾
