Dog Blog: The Staples are Out! [PHOTOS]

It's been over two weeks now and the vet said Brutus is finally ready to have his staples removed!  We're extremely happy that the scar is looking healthy and he's beginning to put more pressure on his recovery limb.

We've moved on from icing the leg three times each day to applying a heat pack instead.  Plus, Brutus now requires three short walks each day (if his leg is up to it) and the continued physical therapy stretches and exercises we've been doing.  I'll have to make another video to show you how that goes.  But here's a quick look at what a large portion of it is... holding the heat pack in place lol.

Once again, getting a dog to lay still for a few minutes can be a challenge.  Getting a dog to lay still for 15-30 minutes can seem like an eternity lol.

Overall, the healing is coming along great!
