Ember hurt her foot.

It is nice to hear that Ember is healing and progressing nicely. As a vet, you know all about people complaining they just can't keep the pups (or kitties) quiet. The cone of shame is sometimes necessary. When Duncan came back from his neuter (plus hernia and one back dewclaw removal), the cone made him stay in one spot and stand there, head hanging. It was so sad, but the second I took it off, he was trying to jump, play with Pierre, or chew on his parts. We handled that with a combo of cone and a few firm "No"s (which was nice because he would stop and be a good boy for about 20 minutes and then he would forget).

Ember has been wearing the cone when I can't watch her 100%. She still would run with it and used it as a battering ram.
 
Its 3 wks today since Ember's surgery.:smile2:

She is doing great and I'm going to attempt to take the cast off today. One more week of controlled walking only and then I can start rehabing.

I hope my nerves can take her being out of the cast. I let her out last night on the leash and she see saw a rabbit, 1st since her injury, and she wanted to take off after it and almost jerked the leash out of my hand:eek2:. I going to send Justice out to clear the yard first from now on. It going to be a long week. :( Lord help me.
 
I'm glad to hear Ember has healed nicely. Great idea sending Justice out first other wise you would be a bit stressed every time you took her out. Hoping she doesn't test your nerves too much this week and you can find an easy way to keep her calm.
 
I am so glad to hear that Ember is healing so well. Good luck with the rehab :lol: Keep us posted on how you ease her into things. UGH...keeping a Sheltie quiet is no fun.
 
Glad to hear that Ember is feeling frisky. I think keeping the cast on longer is a good idea and gosh it is always so hard to keep them calm and for you having to keep her calm this long, I would say you deserve an award. What color is her cast this week?

It is off now. But I am fighting myself not to slap it back on.

Between her and Diva, my nerves are shot. 5-6 more days until puppies and Diva thinks she wants to do NASCAR racing and bounce up and down like she is on a pogostick. Doesn't she know she should be taking it easy.:rolleyes2: Lots of kennel rest around here.:(
 
Oh my gosh do you have your hands full and soon to get fuller!! Diva you had better rest while you can- you are going to be super busy soon.
