    Marlin's Surgery.....

    It's set for Monday. I am getting nervous about it but after two opinions (because my regular vet missed something), we scheduled the surgery. He has dysplasia in both elbows and some arthritis as well. (Sadly, he is not quite one yet - born 08/23/13). He is having arthroscopic surgery. I have started supplements and began the switch to grain-free Fromm.

    What should I expect after surgery? I know I need to keep him calm for 4 weeks but any suggestion for mental stimulation would be great.

    I believe Voodoo had the same thing done for Chili just recently, maybe he will chime in.
    Good thoughts for Marlin.
