December 21st, 2020: 4th day post op
3am awakening again and spent about 10 minutes outside exploring. This is the first time she really didn’t just go out to do her business. She really is getting much stronger. Loves being outside in the fresh snow exploring the new smells.
This morning she waited with her paw on the first step for the sling help but what she hasn’t realized is that she’s not actually getting much support from it.
She spent all morning and afternoon sleeping in the bedroom. Only coming out to go outside and drink water.
This evening she decided to spend on the sofa with me. Caught her trying to scratch the incision tonight. Was able to stop her with the ice bag.
Today’s major accomplishment came just before bedtime when she climbed up the steps outside unaided!
Amazing to see how fast she is adapting.
