That's tough Vance, sorry to hear it, brother.
Glad to hear the vets were able to get him fixed up though ... truly amazing what can be done for our animal's these days.
I understand it will be a long recovery though --- I wish you, your family, and Gus all the best in getting back "up to speed." And it will really test your patience having to "retrain" him, but hang in there.
Our dog had TTA surgery (ACL) last summer. It was a tough few months of recovery time, about 6 months until she was "back to normal" again and had no exercise restrictions ... hard to explain to a dog why they can't jump/run/play/etc.
Since I'm sure she "felt fine" but we had to keep her calm until everything was healed up.
LMK if there's anything I can do ...
Always stinks when your dog isn't 100%. Hope for a speedy recovery. I will say bully sticks are amazing for keeping a dog occupied and lying still for long stretches.
And nice hit.
