Calia and Jack

Calia showing Jack his femoral head

Jack's surgery went well onThursday. The fracture was through the growth plate of his femoral neck. The went in and removed the femoral head (the "ball" of the ball and socket joint of the hip) attached what was left of the bone to muscle, etc. So, that leg may be a tad shorter, but probably nothing anyone will notice and he won't be left with any impairment. while under anesthesia they castrated him, too. Jack is such a super trooper! No cast, hobbling around on 3 legs, although everyday he puts more and more weight on the "new" leg. Calia has even been more gentle with Jack, stopping to give him kisses on the head and gently patting him! Who'd of thought it? Calia is gentle! Now, if only she'd be gentle with Coda!
