Random thoughts - ongoing forward progress
Well it's now 12 days post op, and Jack's continuing to do better. I've noticed a detectable improvement in his weight bearing on his TPLO leg, and a detectable improvement in his energy level (that may actually be more of a challenge to deal with). Given all the pet food contamination problems going around (luckily Science Diet wasn't one of the affected foods) we've taken the opportunity to switch him to a healthier raw diet (he actually started out on a raw diet as a puppy). It's a fascinating change; Jack has never been a food motivated dog, but now he's licking his chops for breakfast and dinner and he doesn't hesitate for a second. I'm hoping the healthier food leads to better healing. Staples come out Friday - can't come quick enough. More to come Friday after the staples come out.

I DEFINITELY believe that better food will lead to better healing. I've been supplementing Maeby with vitamins and raw beef since her surgery, and she had 100% bone healing at 7 weeks. I've read other stories with very similar results. So I think your raw diet will do wonders for Jack!
