27-11-07 Tamba is doing really well. we are slowly weaning him of the painkillers to see if he is coping. The specialist really does not want to do his hips unless necessary until he is 18 months so his bones and growing is done. If all is well in the next few weeks Tamba will start to look for a home.
Any new owner must agree to journey to our specialist when Tamba's 18 months old to see if he needs one or both hips operated on. If he does this could mean multiple journeys will need to be made and special care. We, of course, would foot the bill and are only not doing this yet as the vet wants to wait. With the correct management and Tamba kept slim and fit he could be lucky. Our specialist is a wonderful vet and will not do ops for cosmetic reasons only. Bearing all this in mind if you have followed Tamba's story and know you can offer the best home please call.
Thank you for all your kind words and support. Let's all say little prayer that these next few weeks go well and Tamba can look for a new home at last.
We had the privalge of meeting him the other week when we collected Skye and he is such an amaing dog, he melted my heart. I hope he carries on recovering like he is.
Aaaww..............can't wait to see the next video update, he's doing really well isn't he? Hoping & praying he is OK without his meds..........and has a permanent home soon
I checked yesterday and must have been before they posted an update
If I wasn't in Scotland I would take Tamba tomorrow as I have been there and worn the t-shirt with Keira and know I could give him what he needs, I hope so much that a permanent experienced home is found for Tamba very very soon

After slowly being weaned off pain medication Tamba has now had 5 days without pain relief tablets he's doing really well. You couldn't notice a difference. He is slowly having his walks built up and thinks that this is great. As you can see from the photo he enjoys a well deserved nap after a walk in the winter rain (kept nice and snugly by his fleece). And although being off pain medication it hasn't stopped Tamba loving to play. He loves to play wrestle with his foster sister Fen.
