It’s been a minute since we shared a Wyatt update, and we know his fan club has been patiently waiting.
True to form, he’s a resilient little sucker and he’s doing absolutely amazing with his recovery. He had a few rough weeks after going off his pain meds, but he turned a real corner last week and has been tearing around ever since.
He had his X-ray check up last week, and his surgeon is very pleased with how well he’s healing. He’s been cleared for moving out of his pen, and is slowly getting back to normal life, including his very favorite activity, lounging on the couch. 🥹
His foster home is still lined with yoga mats, has a makeshift doggy gym in the dining room, and will continue rehabbing to ensure Wyatt gets his range of motion and muscle mass back 100% over the next few months.
In true Wyatt fashion, he will remain the center of attention because on January 22nd he’ll be having foreign body surgery. 🫠 During a training session he tore off the head of a spatula and swallowed it whole in, literally, under a second. It was confirmed to still be living in his belly when he had his X-rays last week. Thankfully, it’s too big to move out of his stomach, so we’re not in an emergent situation, but we don’t want him living with a spatula in his tum for eternity. So surgery it is. 😬
Wyatt will resume training with the hot dog ladies after the holidays, and while we expect some backsliding, we’re hopeful he’ll quickly remember his favorite people.
Thank you to everyone who has rallied behind our sweet boy. We’re so grateful to be able to give him all the care he needs and deserves. And, probably, we will be putting him in a bubble after his next (and hopefully last!) surgery.
