I just got off the phone with the surgeon. They would have taken Bella in today if she hadn't eaten, but being the little chow hound that she is, that wasn't possible. She is scheduled to have the pin come out next Tuesday morning. I hope they don't have to shave her leg down too much--her hair was just beginning to fill back in from the MPL surgery
. Did they use stitches to close the incision on Buster, and did he have to wear an e-collar until the stitches come out? That will probably be the most brutal part of her recovery, both for Bella and for us.
