Well storm seen the surgeon and a day later was having surgery on both of his elbows. they took out bone fragments and ground one of the bones down that was to long.

we picked him up a day later and he is now at home. we have to use a sling to get him around because he can't put much weight on his elbows yet. he did take a few steps this morning only 2 days after surgery.

he has to be confined for 12 weeks. no running, jumping or playing. he can swim at 2 weeks for 10 min and after 4 weeks 10 min leash walk.

this is going to be hard because he is still a puppy but it is worth it.

He has adapted to the sling all ready and the ramp. He is very trusting and learns quickly, but very clingy.
