Millie Milz

I got to pick up Millie after work today & I was SO happy to see her smooshie little face! When they brought her out to me, I sat down on the floor in the middle of the waiting room and gave her a big hug, tons of lovin's and smooches galore. Everyone in that room was staring at me but I didn't care - I was just glad to be seeing my baby girl :)

Her leg was SO swolen & bruised and has 18 staples in it! She is on a Fentanyl pain patch until Sunday so I hope that helps her with the pain. She is to put absolutely NO weight on that leg whatsoever for 2 weeks so we have to use a sling to lift up her back end whenever she walks. With a 66 lb dog that is easier said than done! OH - the vet told us that is what she weighed before surgery so she is down 6 lbs! GREAT news!

Once I got her home she went in her crate and that is where she is staying for the rest of the night. You can tell she is in pain & is acting "drugged" so the best thing is to leave her alone for the night. I hope she does ok.....poor Millie Milz :(

*This pic was taken several days later so the bruising & swelling has gone way down!
