One thing to watch for once the bandages come off. I learned this from experience: Desi sat and guarded Dolly all day long. If I took off her e-collar I would watch and she didn't go to lick or anything and then if she did, or if I had to go out of the room, I would put it back on. Well.one day I noticed that her incision was pinkish like it was splitting open. I took her to the vet who told me that I have to keep her collar on. I told her that I did and if she didn't have it on she was right by me and being watched. Then it came to me.Desi was doing his puppy duty and trying to heal her during the night.he removed a couple of stitches while I was sleeping! If they sleep in separate kennels, that is good, but if both have access to each other at night, you may want to put some of that gauzy looking tape around his knee at night.or something!

He is restless and whimpering when he tries to move. I have been carrying him outside to go potty and he stood on his own for a few minutes today, yay George!! He is a little grumpy with his sister. Ready for his pain to be gone, so hard to see him this way. Looking forward to him being back to his bouncy puppy self (although not for the next couple of weeks that he has to be contained and kept quiet). Thanks for the continuing prayers and healing energy!! Quinn, George and Rylie
