MP_the4pack Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 She's home! She was brighter and more alert than I expected. She wanted to jump into the car but I wouldn't let her. She didn't want to do the ramp. So we lifted her in. She settled for the ride home but because she drank a ton of water just before we left I did stop halfway home. She was motoring around. I had a hard time keeping up. Good thing I closed off the steps to outside from the deck. When we got home she barreled through the dog door. Luckily she does do the outside ramp. She really had to poo. You'd think she'd be tired at this point but she kept shadowing me. She WANTED DINNER!! A full tummy, a couple of outside potty breaks and a wad of pain meds (15 pills a day!) and she's sound asleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greysmom Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Sounds like a good homecoming! Front leg amps usually have to go faster than back leg amps. I think mostly because they get around easier by bulding up momentum! The first thing our boy did on coming home was ZOOM around the backyard (I nearly died!) and poop!!

MP_the4pack Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 (edited) She's laying on both sides. But does cry out in pain when she not positioned well. I had to dump her off the dog bed last night to help her up. She prefers that to me trying to find a place on her body to hold and lift. As far as using a sling? Poo on that. And she keeps jumping onto my very high bed. DAMMIT! The bandage came off this morning and the thundershirt put on. I think that's a great idea. Use a thundershirt to protect the site. I have a cut up T shirt under it for any oozing as that's easier to clean or toss. Edited November 20, 2016 by MP_the4pack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTRAWLD Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 (edited) Would doggie stairs leading up to your bed be useful instead of a large leap?

Perhaps a bunch of stable pillows stacked up to give her a bit of a step up? I have a very small bedroom, stairs won't fit. I have 3 dog beds stacked hoping if I don't catch her, at least it'll be a soft landing. I'm going to look for an ottoman that wouldn't slide on wood floors.

I have a cut up T shirt under it for any oozing as that's easier to clean or toss. Fantastic! Sounds just like Twiggy! I taped a large non-stick absorbent wound pad to the inside of Twiggy's t-shirts in the most "leaky" wound areas. That really helped.

I taped a large non-stick absorbent wound pad to the inside of Twiggy's t-shirts in the most "leaky" wound areas. That really helped. She's currently not oozing. The incision itself looks great. It she is still really purple. And there's still a bit of edema. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
