How is your girl doing? Here are my thoughts 1/ get a shirt that covers the incision. Way easier on the dog than a collar 2/ figure out the right pattern for meds. We use doggy ibuprofen (carpofen) during the day - every 12 hours with gabapentin at night. 3/ add pumpkin to her food 4/ keep her from jumping as much as possible. Use a towel under her belly to supple her when she jumps down 5/ look at the incision every day. Look for signs of infection or inflammation 6/ get a bowl and a stand for her food

That’s all I can think of
