Holly had her sutures removed yesterday! Today is her 2 week ampuversary. She hasn’t been eating well for the last week, but yesterday she ate both breakfast and dinner, and she gobbled down breakfast today! And she gladly ate a few treats at the vet’s when her stitches were removed! (I knew she wasn’t feeling well when she wouldn’t even eat treats over the weekend). (can you tell how excited I am that she’s eating by all of the exclamation points I’m using?) She’s off of all of her meds except tramadol at this point – today I will ask the vet how much longer she needs that one.
We celebrated by taking a long walk yesterday… her favorite thing to do. We walked for about 25 minutes, and she was so excited to be on her old walking route. She got to trade sniffs with a chocolate lab, which was very exciting indeed. And I can tell she’s feeling better because she was sleeping upside down in her crate again for the first time since surgery, and she was making little woofing noises. All good signs! I wasn’t fast enough to get a picture of her sleeping, though. I’ll need to have the camera ready for next time!
I’m hoping to talk to the vet today to get some more information so we can make a decision about chemo. I feel like the more I read, the more questions I have. I’m hoping that after talking to him I’ll have a better sense of which way we should go. But today – I’ll listen to all the good advice here and celebrate that she’s happy and eating and for today life is good!
