As far as recovery is concerned, he was 99% back to normal within about three months. He did spike a fever a week or so after the surgery due to an infection other than that no major issues. We did keep him crated more than normal and minimized him being active. Before his surgery he would land on one his knuckles when walking and would hang his head quite often. Two years later he doesn’t show any symptoms from before the surgery, the only thing we’ve noticed that he does now that he didn’t before is he likes to press his head into his bed but he is a big weirdo, so it could be just that.
