So here we are 6 days after Morgan’s surgery. We are still completely amazed at how well Morgan is doing. She has recovered from this surgery better than she did after her knee surgery. She seems so happy, her little Rottie Stump wiggles like crazy! We had her outside on Saturday morning, and she hopped over to my car and stood there looking at the car and then looking back at me… “C’mon Mom, let’s hit the park!”
She has already started hopping over to the basket in the corner, and grabbing her favorite toy to carry around with her.
I think she overdid it a bit on Saturday, because she was a very tired little girl on Sunday. I know they need to get a lot of rest during recovery, but we don’t want to discourage her from doing stuff either. So on Saturday, she was pulling her usual old tricks… I wanna be inside, I wanna be outside, can you please let me back in? She was up and down, and in and out a LOT on Saturday. I think it took it’s toll, because she was a bit less active on Sunday. I am guessing that her remaining front leg will be getting very tired and sore for a while.
I can’t express how relieved we feel to see her like this. Going into this, I was not convinced that this was the right thing to do. Now we know that it was!

I too tried to find a balance for Chloe when I was going through what you currently are. Encourage her to be mobile, but not over do it. I learned the hard way that you are the one who has to decide what is too much because they still think they are 4 legged and can do what they did before surgery. (she got too tired the first night home 2 houses away and luckily our neighbors took pity on us and drove us home…)
All in all sounds like she is doing great and we hope she continues to have a great recovery!

Good for Morgan! Great report!!!! When my dog over does it, she is ‘laggy’ the next day too. It often affects her balance a bit too but she’s come a LONG ways from last fall. Your pup sounds like she’s doing FANTASTIC only 6 days post amp!

She really does sound like she is doing great, she is just a day in front of Guiness and i love to read your blog so i can kind of get a feel for what should be happening , although i know they are all different, its nice to know that there is someone so close in stages as Guiness and Morgan are.
Sounds like our doing a brill job with her, keep blogging and keeping us up to date.
Big hugs Guiness and Toni x x x
YAY Morgan!
Yes, it will take a while to build up strength in that remaining leg, but it’ll happen. I know it’s hard not to let our Tripawds live life to the fullest, they are so overjoyed just to be out of pain!
Go Morgan, Go!
