  • A closeup of our dog's stitches and bruising after TPLO surgery.
  • The x-rays of our dog's leg, post-surgery. This is his right rear leg. The metal plate is on the inside of his leg, the screws point to the outside of his leg.
  • Dr. Beckman is showing us how to place a towel under his belly/groin area, then with both ends of the towel in your hand, lift the dog's back-end up so the toes don't touch the ground.
  • Tenor is resting comfortably... trying to 'sleep it off'.
  • Tenor is wishing he could just go to sleep and not feel so uncomfortable any more.
  • Our dog, Tenor, is completely wiped out after his short Jeep ride home from the hospital and a few too many minutes spent walking on that sore leg.
  • Dr. Beckman is going over the results of Tenor's TPLO surgery, as our dog is being discharged 2 days post-op.
  • I decided to tape them to the door in our kitchen to see what I could see, close up. This is Tenor's right rear leg. But I think it may be upside down -- heck I don't know.
  • The vet asked me to give these x-rays to Dr. Beckman. This is the x-ray that includes Tenor's hips.
  • Our dog had to wear an e-Collar after TPLO surgery, but we took it off as soon as we got home. Tenor is happy to be back riding in the Jeep again!
  • Tenor dog standing up in the back of the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with his conehead e-collar on.
  • Tenor dog sitting by Jim right after he was released to go home. It was amazing how he could bend the knee, lie on that leg, and even walk on it just 2 days after surgery.
