Surgery Update: Day 3

This morning I came down to discover that Sadie had taken it upon herself to remove the top two staples of her incision. Great! I had just called the vet last night since I was concerned that her wound was seeping some blood (guess that's normal). Now I had to call again and then bring her in to have them replaced. They told me that her "e-collar" was too small and she could still reach the incision even with it on. Doug later told me that when he came down early this morning, she had managed to get it completely off!

So now she has 13 staples and a new KING size e-collar. She's resting on old towels and tied up to a dumbbell. Hopefully no more drama tonight!

Ahh, she looks so sad. I'll keep praying for her recovery and no more crazy complications. I zoomed in and her incision looks a whole lot like a total knee replacement for people.

Yeah, and this was actually the least invasive option!
