We are home! She came barreling out of the vet's office and wanted to jump in the car.
Only mishap we had was they had just taken out the catheter in her leg and she was leaking so I tried a tissue but then it soaked right through so we had to go back and get some gauze.
I'm so amazed at how well she's walking around - like nothing ever happened. The nurse commented that on day one she was up and walking so she is a very determined pup. When we got her home, she went to her bed like normal. She used to favor lying down on the right leg so that seems to be where she has to learn the most. She kind of kept circling but eventually settles down slowly and leans on the left side. She is currently snoring on her bed.
The area itself looks pretty bruised but overall wasn't as jarring as I had thought. She's got a funny haircut too.
The only thing we have to tackle is going potty. She has not pooped yet but they did not seem overly concerned because her regular dog food is high in fiber. They even said she doesn't need a sling, just needs to take her time.
To say I'm relieved to have her home and to have her doing this well is an understatement. We go back on the 17th for a combined staple removal and 1st chemo. At least we only have to make one trip.
Feeling grateful for all of you.
