Nestle had torn his CCL and required surgery to repair it. Luckily, with the help of Labrador Life Line's generous donors, Nestle got the required surgery and is on the road to recovery.

Nestle is doing better today, we didn't have to beg him to go out to the bathroom, and I actually had to grab him from trying to sprint inside.. He's getting a new collar today so I can keep him close and slower, I guess his pain is improving! The first few days I almost regretted it, the doc said there was a lot of damage in there, I don't remember if I told you but he stated he put three bands instead of two in there. I actually slept last night through the night! We are taking turns sleeping downstairs with him, he's not used to being alone and he won't be doing steps for some time. But he looks like himself today, his face, eyes, look more like his goofy self!
Thanks for caring!
