This weekend wend pretty well, Maddie continues to put weight on the leg, but seems to think she is all better now and has jumped up on the leash a bit. She is very much an morning dog in a non morning human household. This morning was no exception she was full of energy! I even caught her nosing the cardboard blocking her access to the stairs and kitchen! Her incision/staples continue to look good and we are scheduled to have them removed this Thursday. Oh joy, no more e-collar!!! Not sure how long we will be using the sling and need to ask the vet. also this morning I gave her the last Rimadyl and I have more Tramadol left, so need to find out how long to give that to her, maybe start to taper it off to one before bedtime or something.
She still will need to be on strict confinement until the 6 week x-ray which will check for healing and if progressing well we will start short walks which will progressively get longer until the 16 week final x-ray to see if the bone has totally healed. So updates may not be a frequent now, but when anything significant happens I will post.
Maybe the next post will have a before and after the e-collar!
