Tomorrow is Arrow's last day of treatment. I can't believe it has been four weeks since we started this whole process. The hospital staff and Drs. love her. The vet student who called Sally today said that Arrow was doing fine and she had just taken her out for a walk. She said to Sally, "I Love your dog! She is such a good dog. She's soooo sweet."
She told us that they wrote in her chart last night that she didn't eat much. Then they opened a can of dog food and fed her that and she ate that right up (she has always loved her can -- when she was a puppy we used to get her to come by asking her in a high pitched voice, "do you want your can?" and she would come running). The student said Arrow wouldn' eat for her this morning, but then she took her e-collar off and she ate it right up. Sally had to tell them -- she won't eat or drink in her e-collar. Of course she won't eat with the e-collar. As soon as she bends down the collar hits the bowl, the floor, the wall, something -- and that's just too scary! The problem is, as soon as they take that off of her, she immediately starts to lick her wound. We have a picture of her in her collar, but the camera battery died. As soon as we get batteries, I'll post the picture. As sad as it is, she looks adorable.
We're going to keep her pretty drugged up (without overdosing her of course) and hopefully she won't be in so much pain. I have a new attitude. I'm going to be strong for her and give her only positive energy (or at least that is the plan:) I can't believe how much I LOVE my dog!
