Day 1: later that day…
Just saw our girl and she actually looked a lot better than i prepared myself for! she was happy to see us (even though she was pretty stoned!) and happily munched down the treats we brought. she then just wanted to rest and get some cuddles while she dozed on and off.
We spoke to her surgeon and she actually suggested that we could take her home tonight as she had improved quite a bit since this morning, although she had a bit of a fever and the bruising was still pretty bad. She has eaten three meals and is peeing outside and hopping along once she gets help up. We decided to leave her there just in case her fever doesnt come down on its own and to have them watch her over night.
as we were leaving, we saw her hopping to go pee outside with her nurse and i was so happy! Hopefully she will be ready to come home to me, hubby and her brother tomorrow.
The big bro is moping around the house without her here….guess he likes her after all!
So happy to see that you got through the first meet and greet with your new tripawd! You definitely made the right decision on leaving her there for continued care. It’s hard because it’s only natural to want them home right away, but if there’s even a slight chance that you’d be back during the night, leaving her there will give you peace of mind knowing that she’s in the best hands.
It’s also so great to hear that Marlie is in good spirits and already hopping around. Tomorrow will be a good day for all of you!
Love and Labby kisses from Hunter and family.
Marlie, you’re doing great! Yay!
I hope you got to go home after all, so your people can spoil you rotten.
Keep us posted OK?
