7 months and 86 pounds of pure puppy

7 months and 85 lbs

April Showers

Yoshi broke his toe about two weeks ago while he was playing. He did a 180 and then fell, and ran back to safety (his mom!). We saw an ortho surgeon who recommended a splint for 4 weeks. We tried our hardest, but we got two weeks with it. He started chewing it a few days ago so I put an ecollar on him, that bent his ears so I bought an inflateable one, which didn't do the trick and he ate it again. He also stopped eating (or eating a very small amount) and losing weight (85lbs to 81 lbs). So with advice from other doctors I am trying to see if it heals on its own since he's such a young dog. His attitude has gone back to normal, and he is starting to eat again. I am still restricting his exercise and not allowing him to full out run on it. Yoshi has also been going to work with me to help keep him calm. Basco I think is enjoying his alone time while Yoshi is at work with me, but definately is very excited to see him when I get home at night. So it was a very nice day so I took some pictures. The first four pictures are from my phone's camera.

He's back up to 85 lbs, but hasnt gained any height in about a month.
