Recovery begins


Well, we are home and Sadie is asleep!! The vet actually had us pick her up early today because she was so scared about all the strange people and strange place :( So far getting around is very difficult and unsteady. We are having to use the towel around the tummy method to help her around. And I am surprised to say that she is already putting some pressure on her leg! It makes me a little nervous but the vet said that she will do what she is comfortable with and all I have to do is keep her on a short leash and from jumping. The leg also looks pretty bad with the bruising and swelling , which the vet says are very normal. I have iced the leg once today to help with the swelling.

The vet also sent us home with an e collar which I really don't want to use, and so far there has been no need, she has been leaving her leg pretty much alone! Her appetite is normal and so far she hasn't been whining too much although we shall see how the night goes.

Such a sweet looking pup! She is very lucky to have such a good 'Mommy'. Love the pictures and can't wait to see more.
