Stitches are OUT 🙂

So we went to the Vet this morning (11 days after surgery) to have the stitches taken out.  Morgan was soooo happy to get in the car and go for a ride.  She did fantastic at figuring how to balance, and prop herself against the back seat for the car ride.  Hopped into the vet’s office like a little champ!  However, once they checked us in and we tried to get Morgan into one of the exam rooms… Morgan changed her mind.  She wanted noooo parts of going in there.  We had to take her back out the front door, around the side of the building and into a side entrance into the back hallway.  Whew, that trick worked this time! 

The Doc said everything looks good, and they took all of the stitches out.  She said the fluid draining the other night is nothing to worry about.   Morgan actually leaked quite a bit of fluid today as well.  Doc said there are 2 small spots along the incision that are still open a bit.  Nothing to worry about, and actually kind of a good thing, because those will give the fluid a place to go. 

As though the excitement of the trip to the vet wasn’t enough, Morgan came home and after relaxing for a short time, decided to charge out to the back yard and hang out for a while. 

I can’t say enough, how much relief I feel to see Morgan so Happy.  I had so many second thoughts, and actually felt some amount of guilt when I dropped Morgan of for the surgery.  I worried that she wouldn’t bounce back, or that she would have trouble adapting, there are so many things to think about.  I am confident now that we made the right choice for Morgan, and the Tripawds community here helped so much with making the decision!  

It’s a happy day here at Morgan’s house!
