Lulu has lost about 4 ounces since surgery, which is alot considering how small she is. She went from 3 lbs 6 ounces pre-surgery to 3 lbs 2 ounces. She is eating ok, though. I do have to hand feed her to keep her from running around while I am feeding her.
I hold her in my lap and put her food in my hand and feed her like that. She goes back to our regular vet tomorrow morning to have her stitches removed. Then we go to the surgeon at 6 weeks out for a check up. I don't envy you with the 12 weeks of crate rest. Even though I plan to make sure Lulu doesn't over do it even past 6 weeks, I can't imagine full, strict crate rest for 12 weeks.
Poor Gilmore & poor mommy.
I am looking forward to the day where we can have a normal life with Lulu again. I am praying that the surgery works and that Lulu doesn't experience anymore LP episodes in that leg. Her other leg is only a grade 2 LP and she hasn't shown any clinical signs so the surgeon and I are hopeful that that leg won't give her any problems.
