Day 1515 Khaleesi back to the vets for a check up!

Good news again at the vets this morning.

Took poor Craig 2 hours to get to Stirling for around a 5 minute appointment.

Her bandage is off and her leg is healing well.

The foot will most likely stay at that angle now.

And now for the hard part. The cone of shame for the next 4-5 days at least, to stop her from licking the wound.

Her face says it all… bless her. I’m saying that a lot these days!

Here she is just out of the vet. The cone doesn’t work well either big ears 😂

She has to wear that for up to 5 days and we can take it off…. If she starts to lick the wound then back on it goes, I’m afraid.

She should start putting the foot down in the next 4-5 days as well, bearing in mind she’s been carrying it for the last 2.5 weeks. It will take some time to realise she can use it. I think she used it for balance there just now.

She also just got stuck in the tree. 🤦🏻‍♀️😬

I think she’s trying to shake it off.

Look away now all you squeamish… though it’s not bad and hard to see in the sunlight.

The wound is healing really well.

I’m trying to get it from all angles.

She’s actually handling it surprisingly well. She just had a good licking session on the inside of the cone. I hope that helped her.

We had a slight mishap at dinner as she obviously couldn’t eat out her bowl so clever mumma thought she’d feed her inside the cone.

Nope… the food went everywhere inside the cone and I needed to take it off her and wash it all. Problem is when the cone’s off, we have nothing to hold onto, as her collar is looped through the cone.

Like everything it seems hard work at first but we’ll all settle into the new routine, just like we did with the bandage.

It’s gonna be a long night puppa.

In other news I’ve had a better outlook today. Nothing has really changed apart from my response. I’m no longer resentful, angry or sad, I’m grateful for the small things.

What is this trying to teach me?

What can I learn from this?

How can I respond differently in the future.

I’ve felt like a different person today.

Not that nasty, moany git I was yesterday.

It was like the world was ending.

It’s not.

That’s my fight or flight kicking in again, the minute something doesn’t go my way.

I did all of this long before I read this.

I’m proud of myself for that.

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
