Its now five days since Mya’s surgury, she is doing very well. Starting to get itchey and licking the IV point that was shaved on her front leg. It Was a little red so yesterday I wrapped a bit of gause around it to keep her off it. This morning I checked it and there was already a scab forming on the gause, it came off with the dressing 🙁 . cleaned it up and loosley covered it , I’ll have to check it every few hours. She is getting up and down on her own with no problems now. I fold the leash over her back and let her walk “free” so she chooses her path, unless its the wrong way… She likes to lay on the concrete , when its not too hot out. If she falls asleep I just sit with her where she is. Last night we were on the deck all night next to a pond, kinda like camp’n. The swelling at the incisions has gone down , bruising has gone up as expected.
Her remaining paw looks soo much bigger on its own ?!? ‘Supose it getting all the workout now.
Everyone was right about the sleep, man its starting to catch up to us… Good thing I’m self employed.

We did it!!!
Mya came home this morning about 11:30 sporting a new Tshirt. She is doing very well. Macleod was excited to see her too…
That was Thursday after noon, { 2 days post op} she layed down in the living room and went to sleep , so I came down and started a post But Allison called me and said Mya was getting restless, I came up to take her out and we have been watching here close ever since. she sleeps for an hour or two at the most then usually needs to change position or go out for a piddle. She will leave a small lake behind.
Today is 4 days post op and she is doing well, on friday she sudenly started twitch her back leg and before I could grab her she got one good one off and dragged it over the Tshirt she had on { amp. side !?!?! } let out a loud yelp! and stood straight up. noticed a bit of fluid building mostly blood near the staples, not leakage. used a soft ice pack for as long as she would stsnd it a few times now and its recieded a bit. Bruises are starting to show. She still looks me in the eye and and gives me kisses… Doesnt like the whole leash up for a bathroom break in the yard so much. But I know if she wasn’t tied to me she would get into some place, or behind a tree and it would be hard to get her out. She’s tired of sit’n around, wants to live life a little.
Having a drink together.
I was parked …
M&M Yard’n.
Spent a bunch of the day editing the videos to put up, but there too big … i’ll try and dumb it down a bit or split them up.
