We decided to schedule Sadie's surgery before Labor Day weekend so she could have a long, calm weekend to recover. It would also be beneficial that Harris could carry her around the house if needed.
So we dropped her off the morning of Thursday, August 30 for her surgery. The vet called a little after noon and said that it went well and that she was resting comfortably. We picked her up on Friday and she was thrilled to see us.
Nurse Clayton has been taking great care of her sister. She wipes her head with wipes, makes sure her food and water are RIGHT under her nose, and says "ooowwww" when pointing to her big incision.
Sadie is on many medications and I have been applying cold and warm compresses as well as doing some physical therapy to begin the healing process.
She is under strict confinement for the first two weeks and limited confinement for the next four weeks. We will begin letting her swim and hope that will be the ultimate way to rehabilitate her leg. Slowly but surely we will have her fully mobile again.
Many thanks to everyone who sent their well wishes as Sadie recovers. We really appreciate it. It's never easy to have an injured child.
Aww Poor baby! I will be praying for her and y'all!!
