[Gracie2006]

Gracie is recovering from bilateral luxating patella surgery. The first three days post op are the worst. Give pain pills around the clock as often as is permissible, you want to try and stay on top of the pain. I went to Fred Meyer and bought a super soft, super cushy bed pillow with a fleece cover. It was in the teen section. It acts kind of like a water bed, and creates customized support. Gracie has been on hers non stop since I brought her home from the hospital. Laying on the sofa or bed mattress just is not comfortable for her. I also offer very frequent, small feedings of whatever she will eat. For right now that is ground turkey breast, rice, yogurt and turkey bacon. I save the cheese to give her meds with. It took Gracie about 3 days to get wise to what I was hiding in her treats. Cheese is the only thing she absolutely cannot say no to. Good luck. We are sending well wishes your way. Oh forgot the most important thing, lots of loves and kisses will aid recovery!
