Buying Leo
We bought Nidas from a lady in Ripley, WV. She had two puppies left, and Nidas was the only male. She had around 10 dogs in large cages outside of her home. -
Period: to
Leonidas
This timeline decribes how we got our dog Leonidas, the trials we faced, and where we are now. -
Leonidas is limping
We notice Leo limps a lot. Any time he runs or goes down stairs, he wines like he is in pain. -
Leo goes to the vet
Leo goes to Cross Lanes Veternarian Hospital. We are told he has Fragmented Coronoid Process in his legs. The front two show on ex-rays, but he likely has this abnormality in all 4 legs. -
Leo goes to Virginia Tech
Leo goes to VT, where they perform an arthroscope on both of his front legs. He spends 2 days there, and then endures the car ride home. We got stuck in traffic on the turnpike for 7 HOURS. -
Getting around good
Leo gets around good, but he sometimes seems sore. He can run and jump,but after excess activity, he needs to rest.
