We made it through the first week!!!!!!!!!! Sadie is 7 days post op and doing so well!!! Her leg is healing beautifully, the swelling is totally gone and the bruising is almost gone:) She has not been licking the incision at all, which is good because the e-collar totally freaks her out. She has been letting me sleep at night and doesn't seem to mind her crate. She loves me helping her get up and down stairs, she is a great patient! She is so cute with the stairs, she goes up and down normally with her front end but she makes these huge leaps down two or three stairs with her back end. She looks like a kangaroo:) I thought she would mind being dependent on me to get around but she seems to love it.
The biggest problem we have run into thus far is that she is feeling much much better now, and she is wanting to play!!!!! Which she of course still can't do for another 5 to 7 weeks :( This is where the tranquilizers come into play, they are a wonderful thing, in fact I wish they could give me some. She gets really excited and anxious when people get home during the day and of course around eating time, so the tranquilizers have been a wonderful way to just help her relax!!
I am so relieved with how everything is going!! All the worries that the vet mentioned seem not to be happening, I cannot tell you how happy this all makes me! We go in for our two week check up on Monday so I'll let you know how it goes :)
