3 Weeks Post-Op

It's been 3 weeks since Henrietta's TPLO surgery! She is healing up nicely. Her incision is clean and dry, and the swelling around her knee is almost completely gone. The redness of her skin is also greatly improved. Over the next few weeks, the stitches will start to dissolve and disappear. Hopefully it won't be too itchy for her. The fur on her leg and backside is getting longer, too.

She's been relaxing in her pen, and enjoying all these extra walks. And she's walking really well now, almost like nothing even happened! We haven't had to use her Gingerlead harness at all in the last week or so.

Henrietta's left knee still crunches and pops when she walks, which I find totally unnerving. We've been working on wearing her leg brace, but Henrietta is not convinced of it's usefulness quite yet. She won't be still long enough for me to get a picture of her wearing it yet.

We are getting back to our regular schedule now. Everyone is starting to relax. Except for Edelweiss, who has been pretty chill about the whole thing.
