Monday Cuddles anyone?
Sunny Pupdate
@8/6/22
We have now entered the rebellious part of Sunny's recovery. This is the part where she is down to needing about 1/2 the pain meds she was originally taking. This is a double edge sword. On the one hand, I'm glad she doesn't need all those drugs in her body but, on the other hand, she is getting very restless in her crate and wants to be much more active than she is allowed to be at this stage of her recovery.
The good news is, after only 17 days, we can only see a few scabs, and, yet undissolved, stitches!
Sunny's incisions healed wonderfully and there is no swelling at all!
This means, no more "cone of shame", hurray!
Sunny still doesn't like to put all her weight on her back legs and, believe it or not, she does a good job walking on her front paws for a few steps before getting her back legs down. She does favor one leg or the other, depending on the day, but we were warned that may happen.
Tomorrow we head to the vet for Sunny's first
follow up visit, hopefully we'll be able to increase the walking a little bit to wear this puppy out!
I'll fill you in next week!
Oh it must be sooo frustrating for dear Sunny (and her humans). We hope the vet visit goes well and she gets the all clear for more exercise.
ReplyDeletedear sunny we count the days with you... we love that it heals up so perfectly, so please wait that days to get a super result....
ReplyDeleteWe are so happy that the evil lampshade had been returned to the closet! Paws and fingers are crossed that you get a good report from your vet, Sunny. The AireZen and healing vibes continue.....

ReplyDeleteSunny, you are looking ready to run! Just a little more patience, dear one and I too send POTP for the vet check! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
We're sorry to hear you are frustrated with having to stay quiet, Sunny. Our paws are crossed that all goes well at your vet visit and you can do a little more soon.
ReplyDeleteNiece Sunny you are healing very nicely THANKS to your caregivers 200% care.
ReplyDeleteSlow and easy sweetie healing from inside out is boring but necessary.
Good luck at your check up and OMDs look at that long leg.
Hugs Aunty C
Awww, you're so cute, Sunny and it's good that you're healing well. We humans overdo when we feel better too and I know your peeps are keeping a good eye on you. Great news.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week. Scritches all around, more healing hugs for Sunny and my best to your peeps. ♥
I know it's gotta be hard on you sweet Sunny but in the long run you'll be able to run longer!
ReplyDeleteHang in their Sunny ! You are getting better quickly 0 but it seems like forever to a sweet pup like you !
ReplyDeleteGood luck buddy, we know you've got this.
ReplyDeleteLulu: "We hope they gave you good news at the vet, Sunny!"
ReplyDeleteCharlee: "Yes we do! You look like you're healing up very well!"
Java Bean: "We dogs send lots of tail wags for your continued recovery!"
Chaplin: "And we Hipsters send purrs!"
Keep up the good healing, Sunny. It is hard to stay down when you don't feel like being a patient. It was super hard for Mom last year after her heart attack too, and she is a human who understands it all better than we pups do. So glad you are doing well so far.
