The first picture was july 29 02 the day turbo came home. Second pic was approx a month after surgury he could finally eat standing on a rug but still too wobbly to walk. Third pic swimming in bathtub. Forth pic laying on my legs while the water gently massaged his back. Fifth pic towel or sling walking. Sixth pic resting in yard with his buddies. Seventh pic bicycling legs (lets get this ordeal over with) Eighth pic all my babies left to right cinnamon,snoopy,turbo. They have separate beds but prefer to sleep together. Mamaw

Hi Jean,

This is a great pictoral of post surgery rehab! Thank you for sharing them with everyone! :)

That is a very good set of photos. Very informative. They say a picture is worth 1000 words. I think these are worth far, far more.

Thank you for sharing these photos. It is such a help to see what a pupper goes through with a back episode, or should I say "saga". One cannot really imagine what it all entails (surgery, recovery, rehab, etc.) unless you have gone through it. I have a much deeper appreciation for what it takes and how it affects the lives of those who love the pupper. Hang in there, you are a dedicated "mommy", and I am sure all of us on the board are with you in thoughts and prayers!

Just looked at the pics of Turbo, what a handsome boy. His scar is much longer then Tori's, did the doc tell you how many disc were removed. Tori had 1 disc and a lot of disc material. Has any one ever heard of fenestration, Something that they do to help prevent the disc from rupturing. I have to remember to ask my doc about it.
