So Zoe survived her first night without us (since the surgery) at the trainer’s house. She was very tired when we brought her home and didn’t want to eat or go to the bathroom. We let her rest as we were exhausted from the traveling and then decided to take her out to the property to try and walk her around. She was so excited once we got out there that we were able to walk her around the woods and our field. She didn’t show any signs of being in pain until we got home. She was not a happy camper – she whined and whined and refused to eat. Josh gave her one of the pain pills we are trying to avoid but she was so uncomfortable we had to give her something. We even tried to rub arnica lotion on her leg to try an heal it, but she just wanted to lick it off. Yesterday she seemed back to her normal self but she is being a brat about eating now, she wants us to hand feed it to her. This morning we put it in one of those balls that releases food as she plays with it and she ate most of her food. Right now she is sleeping and her howling and barking seems to be so much better. Not sure if she is just in pain or if the “Bark Off” really does work!?
I will not be posting anything this week as I will be on vacation away from the dog – which will be nice to sleep in a little, but I will miss her and my husband a tons!
