Well we successfully got Maddie in and out of the car using the sling to support her instead of her leg. All the staples were taken out and the vet said her incision looked great, she was doing great too. She tried to run down the hall and the vet tech had to us the sling as a brake for her return back to us.
We were told we could taper off the Tramadol based on how she reacts, but suggested we continue the Rimadyl until the 6 week x-ray which will show how well the bone is healing.
So now we are on Maddie watch to keep her from jumping up on things and she still can't use stairs. She remains on strict confinement because the bone needs to heal. She of course thinks nothing is wrong and wants to go out on her own, etc. She will be much happier without the need for the e-collar, but she still will have to be confined to the family room and the large crate when we are not in the room with her.
She remains a very happy dog and did not mind going back to the vet. She just loves people no matter what!
That is about all for now.
