The “wound”

It looks SO GOOD!! No redness, no scabbing except at the very top and bottom where she has some neck and belly rolls. No bruising. Just amazing! We expect some swelling as the bandages were basically a compression, but not worried about it she’s absorbed the mini seroma she had behind the bandage site in 48hrs previously.

Day 2: still in hospital

Day 2 and duchess is doing FANTASTIC!

She is a hospital favorite. The nurses love her to bits. She is able to stand and walk almost unassisted (but they help anyways cuz that’s their job). Having trouble laying down “gracefully” so we will help with that when she comes home. She is eating well. She is still wetting the bed and they feel that it’s not medical but more of a discomfort in peeing in front of people (she has been known to be shy about that stuff even at home). Since she has been eating she hasn’t gone #2 yet but they won’t be concerned until the 48hr mark of no poops so still all good.

Tomorrow is the day! We will pick her up in the evening. She has been a champion. We haven’t seen “the wound” yet as all pictures have been covered so I asked tomorrow if they change the bandage to please send a picture so we can prepare ourselves.

Out of surgery

Our girl is out of surgery! All went well, some blood loss but nothing of concern. She will be monitored til at least tomorrow & we will see how she’s doing. I will be receiving a photo tomorrow from the amazing nurse taking care of her. Although the stress of surgery is over I still worry for complications. I really hope my girl does well on 3 legs

WE ARE OFFICIALLY A TRIPAWD FAMILY. Thank you all for support and will keep updating tomorrow
