She was well when I arrived home tonight, but now I’m seeing more seepage again. same as last night sort of. This is how it absorbs in her fur. She isn’t dripping, but when she lays on her side it just goes into the fur. It can be mostly clear, but show color at times. I put her in the “rest room” by herself to just heal all day while I worked. She was not dripping or seeping too much this morning. Not like she had the wet fur last night, that was weird. tonight when I got home from work, she hopped on the couch after she ate her meal and I saw a couple drops spit out on her belly of wear the stitches were ripped. Same spot as last night and for the last week. It was reddish/pinkish. Just definitely colored, but not deep blood red or nothing. She also dripped this color last night on her belly as she would lay on her side. She is laying beside me on the couch as I type, her cone head laying on top of my feet.
Her appt with the Vet is 9:00 pm Monday evening. I will leave her there overnight and pick her up Tuesday evening… unless of course there become complications with extraction of the staples on the incision line or something that requires more Vet attention… which then I would think that the Vet will keep her longer to help get her thru this, possibly taking her back to Ft. Wayne.
I enjoy coming to this blog spot to vent my frustrations and anxieties about what we are going thru. I also enjoy the kind words and knowledge that this space and site provides! Ruby and I need to be here to share this chapter of her life.
Ruby is doing great other than the stupid seepage still. She is eating, drinking, pooping, peeing, happy, skipping and howling. Right now she is snoring. She did not whimper when I cleaned her tonight.
Ruby IS beautiful!! No seepage can take away from her good looks!! 🙂
And yes, I went back to look at he previous pictures Jerry “resized” and can definitely see more “wetness” from the seepage tonight than was there yesterday. I vuess that’s what I’m seeing above the incision line, right?
AND YAAAAAAAAAY FOR RUBY FOR LEAVING THE STITCHES ALONE!!! 🙂 Such a good, good girl!!
And it’s such good news to hear she seems to feel good and his eating, happy, howling, etc! GREAT NEWS!!
This is such a sweet picture of her and she really does look comfy!
Okay Miss Ruby!!! You know we are all cheering for you and your Mom!! We’ll be glued to your blog looking for updates!!
Lots of hugs to all!!
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie too!
Yes, that is how it soaks into her fur, but it isn’t constant like that. Once it seeped like that last night, it started to dry. She isn’t wet anywhere today, but that doesn’t mean it won’t seep at all today. So far she is good and all four were very happy to get a good meal of Freshpet this morning with their dry food.
