Bandage Change

Sweetheart's weight is holding steady at 53 pounds.  I feel this is the weight she will most likely maintain.  When she gets the bandage off for good she will gain more muscle in that leg and that might bump her weight up a little but not much.  She is a tall, fine boned female greyhound and the weight she is at now is quite healthy for her physique.

Sweetheart's leg is still doing about the same.  The wound is about the same size as last week.  The wound is not deep any longer but the edges of the wound get irritated from the rub of the bandage.  The wound is still too big for the bandage to come off.  If the bandage were to be removed, the wound would bleed and get infected.  So, we are in a catch 22 right now with her leg.  I think we are just going to have to limit her activity outside.  I feel that this may be what is necessary to get over this last little bit of healing.  The wound is not infected though and that is a good thing.

Below are a couple pics of Sweetheart 'roaching' this evening.  Everyone know what roaching is, right?

Spots, spots and more spots!
