Day 1 being a tripawd

24 hours post surgery 

After suffering a Brachial Plexus Avulsion on 12/09/16, we tried everything we could to see if the left forelimb would regain use, but it never did.  And then he started gnawing on his dead arm, so we had emergency amputation done 02/11/17…. And now we are officially tripawd owners!! I’m sure I’ll need a thousand questions answered in the coming weeks!! Thank you all!

  3. Welcome to our community. His incision looks great. The next 2 weeks will be intense, but always remember that there is light at the end of the tunnel. He will be back to himself in no time!
