Glad to hear it went well. This "incision revision" recovery should be nothing like the amputation recovery.

Yea Lucy!
I'm sure she will bounce right back from this.

Hooray for the surgery going well and being home again.
All that and some fat taken out too - bonus!
Rest up, Lucy!
Jackie, Angel Abby's mom
Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman. Tripawds blog, and a more detailed blog here. Please also check out my novel, What the Dog Ate. Now also in paperback! Purchase it at Amazon via Tripawds and help support Tripawds!
Hmmmm, maybe Lucy's mom needs that kind of surgery..... Nah! I'll just have to continue with WW!!! 
I think that was to prevent the fold over, it was really too much skin. That's just her mother's opinion!

Lucy's front right leg was amputated 12/19/11. Thankfully there was no tumor, but her nerves were found to be degenerative. Life as a tripawd is Lucy's new adventure!!

Excellent news! NOW let the complete healing begin!
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
