Rita Post Surgery
Here are a few photos of Rita post surgery. Today she had to go back to the vet for a cone. She kept licking her stitches and started pulling them out. The vet had previously said that she might need a second surgery because her leg was sticking out sideways, but after the vet saw it today, she was pretty sure a second surgery would not be necessary. We'll find out for sure on Monday when the vet takes her stitches out.

poor Rita.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear she is doing better. She looks so sad.
ReplyDeleteThat last picture makes my heart hurt! Poor Rita! Has she let you know how unhappy she is? I think she should have some specialty food privileges for enduring this awful recovery!
ReplyDeleteShe was doing alright until she had to wear the cone. That really shattered her ego and she has definitely let me know that she is unhappy about that. She also discovered that when she left her wound alone, we would take the cone off. She is now cone free and the stitches come out tomorrow. Malisa, she does have her appetite back so she has gotten some treats. Sadly, she didn't even want treats until the past few days!
ReplyDeleteAww, she's so pitiful!
ReplyDeleteWhen Spencer got fixed and had to wear a cone, he would get stuck on the furniture and didn't realize that he could just back up to get free. It was so sad, but we got a good laugh at his expense.
I hope Rita is feeling all better now.
aren't sick doggies just the saddest thing? hope she's healing okay.
