Terra had her surgery yesterday. I dropped her off Caledon Mountain Vet at 8 am. We have never before been to this place and Terra tends to be a nervous patient. Located in a converted farm house in the little town of Caledon, the atmosphere seemed to keep Terra calm. A tech went over things with me one more time and I went home; the surgery would not happen until at least 4 pm
Collette and I took the time to make all the final prep at the house. Rugs over all the hardwood floors to prevent slippage, a dog bed replacing the love seat where Terra normal jumps out to look out the window (no jumping for about two months) And her kennel which would act as her new safe place
Got the call from the vet around 4:30 and back up to Caledon I went. I was happy to hear that Terra went through the surgery with no complications. She was awake but a little groggy from the meds. Everything had gone extremely well.
Got her home and put her in her kennel, she has a long incision along the top of her knee but to this day it looks very clean, practically no swelling and no redness
That first night she was groggy of course but didn't really show any signs of pain. When walking she was not putting much weight on the leg but that has already changed. I have to carry her up and down the stairs to go outside to pee and we monitored her to make sure she wasn't going to jump up on the furniture.
Things are already changing. More in the next post
