It doesn't seem possible that it is a year since my Orthopaedic Surgeon dropped the bombshell that from her x-rays Juno's limping was down to ED, which was confirmed a week in much greater detail by an MRI. I felt as if our world had come to an end and remembering those early days still makes me cry for my girl, but life goes on and there is life with ED. So I thought I would share a short video of Juno enjoying herself yesterday, and seeing her like this makes me smile every single day. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=967219333385247
Gosh a whole year doesn't seem possible, as we say in our house "I feel like I'm having breakfast every 10 minutes" Juno obviously is having a great life and doesn't let her ED get her down. I can see why your lovely girl makes you smile every day coz she's gorgeous. Keep going Juno xx
Aww, that's a lovely post Rosemary and a smashing little video too Juno is obviously embracing life and why not indeed ? Management of conditions , or rather , good management, can make such a difference , she is fast
@kateincornwall I just wish I could keep up with her to really capture her on video . She had such a great time yesterday zooming along the trail and up and down the bank I just would never have believed it this time last year
Such a lovely little video, words don't actually express how pleased I am for you that Juno is enjoying life, and all is going well. Long may they continue. She's gorgeous. Xx
Thank you @Pilatelover I really appreciate your kind and thoughtful words and I know you understand how I feel each and every day that is limp free. Big hugs to you and Mabel xxxL
It's good to see Juno enjoying her walk - and showing how speedy she is! What a great recovery after all the worry of the past months.
That was a good little burst of speed. Is Juno limited to shorter time or distance on her walks? Did she have surgery?
@Snowshoe Juno has a walk of around an hour in the morning, normally with a lot of off lead and then 30 minutes or so in the afternoon. So her exercise isn't restricted as such we just manage it. She will happily walk for a couple of hours with zoomies and play thrown in but we then reduce exercise the next day. She was operated on 12 March last year for Fragmentation of the coronoid process followed by 8 weeks of rest and heavily restricted exercise. The first 4 weeks we had 3 x 3 minutes exercise a day - not much fun at 8 months old. The MRI scan she had revealed that not only did she have fragmentation but also a malformation of the elbow joint which we work to keep healthy and free of inflammation. The upside of the MRI was that her left elbow was clear with only the right affected.
Thanks for posting this! It gives hope to others who are where you were last year. Great to know that dogs can lead a happy life even with this condition!
