UPDATE 12:40 PM:
Cosmo is out of surgery. Doc said the implant went well, they got all of the pieces of the torn tissue cleaned out of the joint, and that she didn't have a meniscus injury.
She stays overnight at the vet and then we bring her home for a loooong twelve week recovery process before she can slowly start doing her normal stuff again.
Even with a torn ligament, this dog wanted to play every morning. It's gonna be rough on her.
UPDATE 12/22 8:15 AM:
Our regular vet called this morning after he checked on Cozzie. He said she's doing really well - her incision looks good and she doesn't have a fever. We should be able to bring her home this afternoon. Yay!
UPDATE 12/22 4:30 PM:
COSMO IS HOME!!!! Pics below the cut...
She's not a fan of the cone of shame |
That's quite the incision! |
Some random butt shaving. For the epidural? Monitoring vitals? New hairstyle? |
It's good to be home! |
Finally getting some sleep. Zzzzz..... |
