This is post op day 3. Sean slept down stairs with Molly so she wouldn't whine all night. He was able to take her outside in the morning no problem and then we fed her in her kennel. Then I loved on her in her cage and did some massage and exercises with her then iced her leg down. I am so thankful that Molly is letting me touch her leg and move it without even flinching.
I also took off the temporary bandage to look at her incision. It was not leaking anymore so I left it off. Below is a picture of her leg. She is able to bend it pretty well. It's quite swollen but looks good for the most part.
Here is Sean taking Molly out side. Leash and sling.
Except all Molly likes to do is lay down in the grass.

So we are giving her several times of "outside time". We have to keep our hand on her leash and sling in case she see a bird or something she wants to chase. But for the most part to loves to just lay in the grass. I was able to take Molly out back with Chelsea. Chelsea got excited at first but as soon as Molly layed down in the grass so did Chelsea.
Well we made it through the first weekend. Stay tuned for the first full work week. The good thing is Sean works from home....I work night shift 3 times a week so I sleep during the day. But we should get into a routine with Molly this week.
