Diesel is now 2 weeks post-op, good news is he is healing well. Bad news is, he is healing well. Monday I went back into the office, leaving him home, like I have done always in the past since we got him. Well, he didn't like it, I came home to find several of the wire bars of the crate chewed apart, with a big hole in the front of it. He even was drugged... hmmm I say to myself- what are we going to do with him for the next two weeks. Kurt tried his best to fix it, using zip ties and old license plates to cove the hole he created... and this is what I came home to yesterday:
Sorry for the glare, but yep, that is the part that Kurt fixed up, torn apart. completely destroyed license plates... Pretty impressive , ay? (That is Canadian by the way)
I wasn't so much concerned about the crate, they can be replaced. we just need to find one he can chew- which Kurt did. Some industrial strength ones, probably like the ones the vet office has. But we needed a plan B until the ordered stronger one comes in. Which we don't have yet.... More concerning was any damage he did to his leg stressing it out all day. On top of a really crappy election result, I found myself in tears all night worried I have done something wrong to make his leg worse. So off to the vet I am going today, just to get reassurance that everything is still healing well. He seems to be walking fine, my head tells me - all is ok- but I can't help but be concerned. Why can't he just be like this all day?
I knew it was going to be hard, but i had know idea how hard it would be, especially on my heart. More updates after the vet visit this afternoon. So I am happy to report, the vet says everything seems to be healing just great. All my worry was for nothing, the swelling is to be expected as he starts to use it more and it starts to heal. WHEW, but i am glad I took him even just to ease my mind.
