Hi All,

The first part of Cora's night was ruff (as Jerry would say) but really she's doing pretty well. She wanted me to be there touching her, so we slept on the floor together. This morning she was doing really well. She's a bit grumpy now. She's been moving around more so  I'm thinking that's why.  She's walking, eating, drinking and peeing!

She's walking very cautiously and uncertainly. She has not been circling at all. How am so curious to see how she does. How much the stump effected her walking.

We did decide to keep the scapula. My vet consulted with another surgeon to make sure that was the right choice. It was a lot less surgery for her and there's nothing for sticking out for her to fall on. It's very smooth and they took muscle and pulled it over the area so it's extra padded. (I may not have explained that well). I really don't see falling and injuring it as a risk. We also talked about the risk of pressure sores or whatever you call it, and the risk for Cora is low. She's get a pretty heavy coat and she's fairly light.

Here' a picture of her last night when she first got on her feet and then this morning.

i think I'm forgetting something but for now that's the update

PS- Oh yeah, sorry I kept disappearing from chat. Between cora, my computer and my tiredness chat was just not really happening

Yesterday was smoother although there were a few ruff patches. Cora wants off the porch but I'm not letting her which ticks her off. Cora gets hyperactive before she poops and then she ends up falling down and getting upset.  She also did that one other time and I don't know why. So there were a few points where she was agitated and making herself miserable and wouldn't let me help her, but mostly she was in her kennel keeping quiet.

This morning she is walking much more normally
