My husband talked to the vet again this evening. He said Chloe is doing great! She was sitting up, observing her surroundings. She even walked outside, assisted, to potty. The vet was impressed, said that she was one of the best he’s ever seen so soon after an amputation.
!!!!!
Such reassuring news to hear. Puts me at ease a bit.
We have an appointment at 2:15 tomorrow to pick her up, and go over aftercare with the vet. On the phone, the surgeon told Joe that we want to ice it for the first few days, to help limit swelling & fluid build up. Does that sound right, experts? (I know, I need to review the required reading again! This is a lot of new info to process..)
Jenson had a rough day. He was very upset by the time we got home from work. My husband had to basically hand feed him some chicken in order to get him to eat. Jenson just wanted to search for his girl. He’s resting now, with one of our kid’s blankets.
Great news!! I know that really gives you some peace of mind tonight!
I think the thing that shocked me more than the incision itself, was how much fur was shaved!!
I made a point when I picked her up to not even look at her incision. She wasn’t looking so wjy should I. I just looked st her happy druggy eyes and told her how happy and proud I was!
Stay connected and let us know how things are going when you get her home. The first two weeks…lots of ups and downs…lots of getting the
pain meds managed, etc.
Hugs!
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie too!
