It's been approximately 24 hours since her surgery and it's amazing how you see small signs of improvement.
I always find that the most drastic changes are overnight. Her bruising is going down, the sutures look good but she's got some swelling (more so than yesterday) on her right leg. I think she's been lying on that side more which is different considering that was the Grade 4 leg. I put the ice pack on the leg this morning, but Chihuahuas despise the cold, shiver shiver. I think I'll make my own as the pack the clinic gave me is too stiff and awkward. I need something that will conform to her small joints better.
She ate up her breakfast (canned) lickety-split this morning, took her medications well and had a little cookie for good measure. Jabby also had visitors, a Sister-in-Law and a Niece came by and she got lots of lovin' which I'm sure made her feel better too.
No BM yet, but that's OK, she's only started eating again, but she's had 3 generous pee's. When she starts moving around more I'm sure the bowels will start working again. But right now, she needs her bed rest, when she's ready for more, she'll tell us I'm sure.
