Hi i work for an orthopedic vet and we do this surgery all the time. Its true that the pin may migrate but its not from them using the leg once its healed. sometimes it just migrates.
The metacam is a once a day medication, please do not give it twice a day. If you really think your dog is in more pain then call the vet and maybe they can get you some tramadol too. I had a poodle puppy go through three leg surgeries and never needed anything other then the metacam.
By monday it should be fine leaving her. If she's a jumper in the x-pen then i think she should be in a crate, but if she's not then it shouldn't be a problem.
She should be excersizing three times a day by going on short 5-10 minute long walks, very very slow
Any questions feel free to ask.
