Day Four 72 hours post op

Ok this may be very graphic, but if you are contemplating knee surgery for your dog it's good to know what to expect. The bandage was removed yesterday and the incision while swollen and a little pink looks really good. My vet did not spare the staple expense which should make for a very smooth scar.

Cool compresses are much more effective with the bandage removed. Tippers temp was a little elevated this morning at 102.9 but the vet felt it was probably a result of the inflammation. Tippers appetite is not very good so, dog grain is out and chicken, eggs and rice are the food of choice. Of course that she will gobble down. She is being leash walked to potty and in her crate unless I am close by to supervise her. She is definitely one spoiled dog.
