It's been 6 weeks....

Well, tomorrow is officially our 6 week point. I have an appointment on Wednesday, 1/28 to take little Miss Harley back for her 6 weeks xrays. I just pray that everything is healing OK. She seems to be doing great. She's walking so much better lately. She still favors it a lot and she still limps...but she's putting more weight on it. It's like sometimes she walks almost normally...then she remembers that she is supposed to limp and starts limping again.

We have been walking so much and she still puts more weight on the toes of that bad leg, that her little paw pads got worn down and she was bleeding. Road rash...poor girl. So, lately, we have just been walking in the grass. There is a big retention pond behind my house....there's never any water in it...so we go back there, circle the pond a few times...and then do our hill work. She sure doesn't like the hill work, but it's a great workout for both her and ME! :-) I think I can see a difference in her walking since we have been doing it.

She's allowed back on the couch now.....there is no jumping to it, so I figured it can't hurt. She's a much happier girl. She's also allowed on the bed, but only with assistance up and off.

She's still being VERY picky about eating. The week before last, Shawn was out of town...the little brat ate every meal, morning and night. He got home last weekend and all of a sudden she decided that she didn't want to eat again. At this point, it's a pity party, so I'm not babying her. If she doesn't show any interest in her food by the time Koda is finished, I pick it up and save it for the next meal. She just doesn't get it though. Shawn keeps telling me to only feed her at night...for a few days i did that and it worked out fine...I just hate feeding her only one big meal. But if it works, I guess that's what I need to do. She's just not a morning dog like Koda is.

I got my homeopathic remedy in.....Phosphorus....which is more known to help the body clean itself after surgery. I gave a dose of the remedy on Sunday night. I think it helped some as she's much happier, feels much better and is very playful for the 1st time in a long time. Now if I could just get her to eat normally, I'd feel so much better.

So, I'm praying that her xrays come out normally on Wednesday and there's no setbacks. I don't think there will be, but you just never know.
