I went and picked Sophie up today after her slumber party at the vet. She tore her ACL (a ligament)last year and we had the surgery done to repair it yesterday. Poor thing can't put any weight on it and hobbles around on 3 legs. I knew she was glad to be home when she went straight to the wet cat food dish to lick out any leftovers. She was starving after not eating for 2 days. Corgi's live for food so that's a major thing for her to miss that many feedings!
This is her, "Ahhh, these are some good drugs" face. Hopefully she'll sleep a lot so I won't have to follow her around helping her. It's horrible to see her trying to move.
Now we start her 2 month rehab. She should be back to fetching and running some time in February. It's been torture to ignore her when she brings me her toys and wants to run. She also had her teeth cleaned, a broken one pulled, and her toe nails trimmed. It stinks getting old! At least they did her overhaul when she was out like a light!
