I'm so glad to hear she is out of surgery and recovering.

 

Front leg, correct? I do believe this is a more difficult surgery for recovery, but (in my opinion, only) easier over the long-haul. Do remember the fear-reaction screaming when getting up from laying down is pretty normal in front-leg amp recoveries - terrifying at first, but it goes away over 2-3 weeks.

 

Hang in there, you can both do this!

I called later last night. They said they had gotten her up a couple of times to go outside. She's wobbly as expected, and didn't do her business. But just to be up and out on the same day as the surgery is a plus.

She did cry out earlier.......maybe from pain or from fear. But they said she's adapting.

 

I should get a call today from the doctor. Yesterday he said Thur or Fri if everything goes well. I can't get out of work until Sat. So I'll leave Sat morning.

 

 

I don't suppose there're any NJ peeps feel like keeping me company?

I just got another update this morning. Dr. Koshko said that she's showing a little spunk today. She's now eating. The edema is decreasing, having peaked yesterday. There's still a little oozing but he said that's to be expected. They've taken her outside using a sling and she seems to be doing well.

 

I should have no problem bringing her home Sat. They are going to let me borrow a sling for a few weeks. I'll bring it back when I have her first chemo. I will be taking her all the way out there for the chemo, because when I had my local vets do it for Dima, I think they did the first one incorrectly. I lost Dima to kidney disease and OS in a hind leg. I think the kidney disease was caused by the first chemo. So, I'll go out to Metzgers for it, as they have done it many times on greys.

Good update. Glad she is perking up, and I'm sure she will continue to do so when she's back home with you. Hope all goes well this weekend.
