Today marks one full week post amputation and Opaldog is doing great! She’s maneuvering stairs like a pro and is able to hop on and off our couch with ease. She even jumped up onto our bed the other night, despite doing our best to keep her from being too active.
Her incision is looking great too! Per everyone’s advice I purchased a donut to go along with her cone of shame and it seems to do the trick nicely! I’ll be happy for her to get her staples out in a few days though. If she’s feeling this good with them in I can only imagine how great she feel once they are out. She still has some bruising, but thats quickly dissipating. Swelling has gone down completely too, and her hair is starting to grow back!
I can’t wait to see what this next week has in store for her recovery! 
Yay Opal! You’ve got the first week behind you now! Your incision looks great and you’re really going to love getting rid of those staples! You’re a shining star!
Opal! Looking good girl!! Sounds like you are doing a splendid job of recovering too! The fact that she is feeling this good this early on is quite encouraging!
And it just keeps getting better and better!
Thanks for the great update. Keep :-).em coming!!
Hugs to all!
