Continued Improvement and other Changes

Arrow continues to improve as evidenced by her racing Buttons to see who can get out the door first, walking ahead of us on our walks, and the continued fiesty behavior of ripping off t-shirts, and trying to pull off the sheet we have placed on her bed (to prevent icky stuff from sticking to it). Her wound looks better some days and then on other days it looks like it is still pretty raw and then gets scabby again. I feel kind of bad still putting one of the collars (either the e-collar or donut) on her while we're gone for the day because I've promised her she would be better by now. But she doesn't hate me yet.

The new direction now is that she is starting to itch it with her back leg. That is a bad thing. We tried putting a sock on her this morning to prevent her nails from scratching her sore. Oh my God, I don't think I can describe how funny that was. She took one step with her front paws and then lifted up her paw with the sock on it and walked like she had to lift that leg over a giant log. She took about four steps just like that until she could collapse in her dog bed. She is too damn funny! So now she is on benadryl which makes her a little mellow. Can't wait to see what phase is next :)
