Bandage change 9/29

Everything went well with today's bandage change.  Sweetheart has officially gained two thirds of her body weight since 8/13.  She weighed in at just over 51 pounds today.

This was taken 8/13. Dr. Kolar believed the bone had been
exposed for at least 7 days due to how dry it was.

The same wound taken 9/29 and in Dr. Kolars word's about the progress
Sweetie has made in 6 weeks (Amazing.)
I believe that Dr. Kolar had his doubts about how her leg would heal and
is shocked at how well it has healed in 6 weeks. 

This is the inside of her leg around 3 weeks ago.


The inside of her leg taken 9/29 it still has a way to go but it
looks so much better.

Dr. Kolar has said that Sweetheart is now healthy enough that we should be able to have her spayed in 2-3 weeks.  I really think that she has surprised the staff at Prague Veterinary Clinic with her recovery.  It's so nice to see the smiles on their face's when I bring her in.  They are truly awesome people!  I will keep it short since jess isn't around and I can't seem to think of anything else to say.

  2. Oh wow! What an amazing recovery! I didn't realize she wasn't spayed yet. Poor baby! Thank goodness she didn't end up expecting puppies on top of everything else. I'll have my fingers crossed for her to make it through that with no problems!
