Linda, I agree with what others have said, that it takes awhile for the pup to build up the endurance/muscle mass/etc. he lost pre-surgery. Tex and Igor had...
Dear Linda, Sunshine had his TB 6/10/08, so we're only 4 months out. I'll repeat what Dawn said about lack of exercise pre-surgery. Sunshine has never been an...

Hi Patty and welcome. I don't know the life span of a springer, but his dad's life of 17 years seems awesome. Everyone needs to make the surgery decision...
