Meeshka on day two
Hello all,
Meeshka finally ate her painkiller infused dinner at 6 am- thus ending her night of ag-o-ny. Poor thing :(. Later we noticed that her stump is looking puffy, red, and some slight discharge. They said it’s normal and days 3-5 will be the hardest. After getting my wisdom teeth removed in October, I can vouch for that. They also upped her pain pills and injected her with something powerful. really powerful. She’s still breathing, but has been very quiet and dozing on and off since noon.
We’re probably going to purchase one of those Ruff harnesses once her stump heals. Also debating the dog coat- It’s 18 degrees here, but she’ll only need it until the fur grows back. I supposed we could sell it when we’re done. Raised bowl stands are also definite must.
Check out the selection of raised bowls in the Tripawds Gear blog, and if your crafty, give these free dog coat patterns in the Downloads blog a try! Seromas and bruising around the incision are indeed normal. Meshka is beautiful and looks to be healing quite nicely. Hang in there.
