Surgery time.... again

[thirdgenlxi]

Well we've been trying to chase Piggys limping issue for a little while now, come to find out she had a torn ACL in her right knee. So I dropped her off at the vets monday morning for surgery.... she was ready to go! 2 weeks earlier and it would have been nearly 2 years to the day from having hip surgery on her left hip

 

 

 

Vet called me later in the day and said surgery went perfectly fine (I always worry during any surgery), but they wanted to keep her overnight just to keep an eye on her and make sure she got a good restful nights sleep. So I went down tuesday and picked her up

 

 

 

Gnarly little incision

 

 

And as much as she hates it, she had to get the cone of shame.... poor girl, lol

 

 

 

The vet said I HAD to keep her calm for 6-8 weeks to recover, otherwise it could damage the repair and they'd have to go in and do it again. So friday night my friend Scott and I went out in search of a kennel (she doesn't do well inside by herself.... separation anxiety). Was hoping to find a used one but craigslist failed me this time, lol..... ended up having to get a new one from Tractor Supply. And some Cook Out too..... we were hungry, lol

 

 

 

He helped me get it all set up and ready.... pretty easy

 

 

 

And today was her first full day in it while I was at work.... I know she didn't like it but gotta do it for the next month and a half or so for her own good. I called my landlord who lives next door, at lunch time and asked her to peek over there and make sure she was doing good, and she said she was just laying there in the sun sleeping, so that's good at least

 

 

 

Anyways, fingers crossed for speedy recovery.... will definitely be happy to see this happy energetic girl back to her usual goofy self, lol

Best wishes for Piggy's speedy recovery! Hopefully she will enjoy the "back-to-new" feeling for a long time to come.
