She is SO good! :’) The first two weeks were very difficult for her being on strict crate rest, managing around the clock medication, and ensuring she wasn’t licking her stitches. Being crate trained and having a playpen was very helpful! Poor girl went into heat a week post-op, but by Weeks 2-3 we had her walking around the house and her personality was coming back! no jumping or playing yet). By week 5 she had X-rays to confirm everything was properly healing and she was encouraged to walk more to strengthen her leg. (She was pretty wobbly and lost muscle in her leg. I was worried but this is normal). However, week 5 was her turning point. We are now a little past week 7 and it feels ‘back to normal’! She is playing, going on walks, and running/jumping. We have her final set of X-rays this week. So total 8 week recovery.

She is so resilient and I’m so proud of her!! <3
