Ember hurt her foot.

In other updates Ember is doing great. I replaced the cast again today to make sure the incision was healing fine and dry. It was raining this morning and I sent her out the door on a flexie lead and the bag fell off.:( I sent Justice back out in the rain to fetch it for me. What a good momma little helper.:lol: It looked great. Now the cast is bright highlighter green the only color I have at home. Now I have to buy more. Hopefully only one more cast change before it is off for good.:smile2:

Caro, I planning at least 6 wks of rehab after the cast comes off. I think I'll plan for return after the new year hopefully. Diva will be ready to come back out too.

glad to hear that Ember is on the mend. at least with Highlighter green- you'll be able to see her anywhere. good boy Justice- saving mommy from getting wet :winkgrin:
 
What a good boy, Justice is!

The article was great. It was neat to see how they sewed the tendon up right over the bone. Very interesting, thanks for sharing. I love that stuff :o but that doesn't say much because one of the most satisfying things in the world for me is squeezing crap out of an abscess or cleaning an infected wound (I was just squeezing puss out of a scrape on my daughter's knee). I am weird like that :eek2:

I would have love to be a vet when I was younger. I was just not so good with people, lol. I was strongly encouraged that it wasn't the way I should go as a profession. So, hence, I am a hydrogeologist and I spent my career designing systems to clean ground water :rolleyes2: I give you a lot of credit and respect for following your dream and doing what you do.
 
Ember update- it's been a week since the surgery and Ember is doing great. She is totally bored and I can't believe how hard it is to keep her quiet. She is the calmest one of my bunch. I been trying to think of things to do to mentally stimulate her as she is not into the chew toys anymore. She has decided that barking at me and everyone is a fun thing to do and as well as picking on the cat.

She has engaged in all out war with her cast since weds night. She went after it when I was running Justice in agility and chewed up the foot and top now I had to resort to the cone of shame unless she is sitting right next to me. I can only imagine the incision is starting to itch. Atleast 3 more days and I can take the suture and staples out and that should help. One more week atleast in the cast. I little worried about when I take it off. It will be really hard to keep her quiet then.
 
I'm glad to hear she's healing well, but sorry to hear she is now wearing the dreaded cone. Ember Gypsy feels for you since her last cone was worn for 3 weeks. I can only imagine how hard it will be to keep her calm for a few weeks after the cast is removed. I can't really remember what I did to keep Gypsy calm after her luxcating patella surgery she had prior to her 1st B'day. For me it was probably much easier than it will be for you since you will be working. I wasn't working so I think I just had her right by my side constantly and just tried to keep Chandler from getting her going. I also think pain kept her from running around. I do remember she still was limping for about 2mos. after.
Chandler is a real barker so when you said Ember is barking at you I could just imagine her sitting there like a Princess barking orders at you. Time for the ear plugs.:uhoh:
 
Poor Ember - I can just imagine how itchy the incision is! It will certainly help when the sutures and staples come out.
 
I hope you let her bark at you at her hearts content!?? Hold the cat still, so that she can pick at it without having to move too much, LOL
You better, because if the Princess ain't happy... ain't NOBODY happy!
:biggrin2:

Hope all stitches and cones and casts going to come off, soon
 
So glad to hear she is doing so well but I bet she is getting very bored and can only lay around for so long with an itchy leg.
 
Not the cone of shame :eek2:

In all seriousness, though....I am so happy that she is doing that well and that you are worried about keeping her quiet. That just means that she is healing and feeling good.

Pat on the back from me to you....job well done :wink2:
