Just my guess. When Tiki limped it was probably due to being painful when she put weight on the leg, as she didn't have pain meds.
You are a great Dad to Bella. |
Bella is on Metacam. I have Acepromazine as a backup if needed, but I want to avoid using it if possible because it is a hard-core sedative. Since Bella seems to be a littler perkier and more cheerful each day, I think her pain and discomfort are subsiding. I'm sure the wound site itches because she kept wanting to lick it when I had the E-collar off her. She seems perfectly content running around with her inflatable E-collar on--maybe it is comforting to her in some way. Thanks for the vote of confidence in my fathering skills! I'm tired from the worry and sleep I've lost over her, but I think things are turning the corner.
