Heidi comes out of surgery!

YEA! Heidi appears to have done really well. So far, so good. She seems more upbeat and happy than she did on Monday when we dropped her off.

OK, as a point of interest, we generally do not use E Collars with greyhounds. The dogs are really accustomed to wearing a kennel muzzle, and tolerate them well; whereas, the E Collar can be very disconcerting for them. If, however, a hound licks incessantly on bandaging, the use of a stool guard in combination with the muzzle would be necessary.

I am guardedly optimistic. :)

Ann-Marie met me at the Orthopedist's so that she could get the low down on Heidi's recovery care - though Ann-Marie and Jim have cared for more than their fair share of post surgical dogs. Thank you SOOOO MUCH Ann-Marie and Jim for offering to care for this girl!! Please keep us appraised of her progress.
