Remolacha Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 Well, we are home. They wanted to check her coagulation factors one more time (normal ) She is still oozing some from her incision, they gave me some gauze pads to replace if it seeped through the bandage, which it had by the time we got home, so I tried to replace them and have made a mess! She has this elastic body wrap, looks like a net version of racing silks. "just roll it up, replace the gauze pads, and roll it back down" easy-peasy NOT. Still she seems comfortable, she is eating fine. She has some edema in her lower legs, back legs in particular, so I am supposed to see that she walks around some to help that absorb. She ended up getting 7 units of blood and three of plasma I take her back tomorrow for a check on her incision, then if all is well, a check in with her surgeon in about a week. I am so pleased to have her home, but so afraid I will do something to mess her up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remolacha Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) I am not sure that they didn't send her home too soon. Her incision is still oozing, not unusual I know, but I have not been able to do a very good job with the bandage changes, I feel like such an incompetent idiot She also has edema in her legs and feet. On the up side, she is eating well, and so happy to be home! I am taking her back today for a check on her incision (scheduled when we left yesterday), so we will see if my clumsy bandaging is good enough, or if she has to stay. I hope not. Her clotting factors are normal and her PCV is in the 30's low for a greyhound, but within canine normal.

Batmom Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 If she has to stay, it won't be because of your bandages. Fingers and toes crossed for a good appointment!

Remolacha Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 OK, I guess I didn't break her They were pleased with the way the incision looked, and thought it was oozing less than it had been yesterday. They did some bloodwork, her PCV is 33%, still low but improving. The edema they think will go away as she reabsorbs fluids, so she won't have little Lab feet for too long. They showed me how to massage her feet and legs to help with that. It will take some time, but she should eventually be OK. Her regular vet is coming tomorrow to look at Sallie's foot and will check her incision and rebandage. I will deal with leaks until then, what I had been doing was fine. Unless anything changes, I will update next week after she has her surgical follow up and I hopefully have the biopsy results. Thanks you all again for helping her get through this!

Remolacha Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 thanks everyone! her incision is oozing a lot less and I think the swelling is starting to go down a bit.
