First week of being a Tripawd in the can!

It was about this time last week I got that call that Shilo came through the amputation with flying colors!

A week goes by so fast when you are doting on your puppy to get them healthy again.

Other than some minor scratching/licking (solved by an old t-shirt) Shilo is basically herself again.  I did find that for her, being away from the other dogs was very beneficial (she has been at my parents house for the last week).  With the other hounds there was always the urge to play, bark when the others did etc etc.  Not a very calm environment for a just out of surgery dog.  When I took Shilo to see everyone once she realized she was in a house with no dogs she found a spot and went right to sleep.  So we agreed to let her stay there till she was back to 100%.

So today I make the appointment for next week’s stitch removal and I think the first day with the trial drug.

  2. Shilo’s learning all the pluses of being treated like Royalty without having to share her riches with the other hounds!

    Kudos to Grandma and Grandpa! And extra treats for Shilo!

    Still so early in recovery and I know you’ll feel more and more relief everyday as she starts feelong stronger and more like her old self.

    Sending lots of healing energy.

  3. Great plan to have Shilo spend some time with Grandma and Grandpa! So different since she is a young and energetic tripawd:)

    Glad to hear that things are going so well for her…and you.

  4. One week down…yay Shilo!

    I think it’s SUPER smart of your people to give you a quiet place to stay, it’s the best medicine ever. And I’m sure they spoil you rotten. Lucky Grand Dawg!
