Edelweiss is glad Henrietta is home, but is also sad that they are not able to play together like they used to. She takes care of Henrietta the only way she can, by just being there for her.
This morning was another good morning. Henrietta is standing when she eats, walking slowly but a little more steadily when we take her outside, and moving around in her pen every so often. She did need some support towards the evening yesterday, but that's to be expected after a long day of small walks and rehab exercises. We've ordered a special sling with an integrated leash, which should arrive by Wednesday, and will make it much easier for us to support her while guiding her around the lawn. The swelling around her knee is continuing to decrease, though she seems to be retaining fluid around her ankle. Her right ankle is twice the size of her left ankle. All in all, I'd say she's in pretty good shape after only 3 days since the surgery. Also, today marks 1 week since she blew out her knee last Saturday. We feel very lucky that we were able to get treatment quickly, which minimized the damage, and will help her to heal more completely.
We also received a donation from the wonderful, fantastic, awesome Bryan G. A great big THANK YOU goes out to you! We have put your name on the "Henrietta's Heartfelt Helpers" donor wall. This brings our donation total up to $388.80!
Now that Henrietta is settled into a routine, I will be spending my days yarn-crafting, and I hope to be able to open my Etsy shop sometime next week. I will do a big post about it, so don't miss it!
