4 days post-surgery…
Well, we went back to the vet today to have PG3’s pain patch removed (it was stapled to her) and Dr. Marti said she is doing wonderfully. He told me that her stitches look great and that we can begin going on 2-3 minute walks!! It’s so amazing me to that my PG3 has been recuperating so well and so quickly! I am not naive in thinking that we are home free and this will be easy. I know this is only the beginning and we both have a lot of work to do, but I am so happy that things have been going well. When Dr. Marti and his staff told me on Friday that she may be up and walking by Sunday, I thought to myself, there is no way!! Boy, was I wrong. Yesterday, my daughter saw Piper get up on her own, walk around the room and then lay down all by herself. She was so excited for Piper that she was jumping up and down, cheering for her and telling her how amazing she is! I think they are both amazing…My wish is to have PG3 up and running on her own by the time her daddy comes home, what a welcome home that will be for both of them!!!
paws crossed for continued improvements everyday!!! glad things are going so well for pg3 (love that new name!!).

Other than that, everything sounds good! Happy faces all around! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Yeah, wowza about the pain patch being stapled. Guess they didn’t want that sucker to come off!
Hope she continues to do well! Up and running around would definitely be a great homecoming present for daddy!

That would be an amazing welcome home present!!! The fentanyl patches can be pretty rough, my Nico was on them & they often made him disoriented. That is what you were probably seeing the first night. So happy to hear that she is doing so well!
