He put a soft donut collar on her since she figured out how to lick her paw with the plastic one on. Said she would be fine in about a week, just stop her from licking,, don't let her run around and don't walk her for the full 2 weeks of healing time.

ANyWAY, I let her play in the house today, running around after ball. Took collar off since I can supervise her. OMG she was an absolute NUT. I mean, a total nut, hyper maniac, like she could not control herself. Which I can understand since she hasn't walked or played in a week.

WHAT DO I DO, HOW do I stop her from being herself? By the way, she seems fine, her paw seems fine - no pain, but I have no clue if she is really o.k.

Any suggestions welcome!!

Bentley has not been able to run around and play for 4 weeks now and we have probably another 4 weeks to go. He has no way to release his extra energy except with chew toys. Kongs have been our best friend. Invest in a kong where you can put treats or peanut butter in it for her. Bentley's favorite is frozen peanut butter. That will keep him occupied for quite awhile.
