Lainey update...
She came home yesterday afternoon pretty sleepy most of the day. They were able to save her leg! She did have a lot of road rash on her hip that was basically dead skin that would and was sluffing off. After shaving her they saw the extent and it was more then they were expecting. So some tissue and dying muscle had to be removed so they could stitch her leg back up with healthy tissue. So we have been warned that we will have extensive would care for some time. They also found that her ankle and foot were shattered when they opened her up. The X-ray that were taken and sent to they surgeon didn't have her feet in it so he wasn't prepared for that. He was able to pin them and he said those will need to be removed.
Last night she stood! On her own! Well, I balanced her and it was just a short time but baby steps are all we are hoping for!
Today she's been pretty sore. She was able to go outside for a bit and watch her pups through the fence of course she perked up and kind of sat up like her proud and protective momma self😜 this afternoon she's been in a lot of pain. The swelling is going down she isn't really wanting to stand. She's whining and yelps when I roll her. We are keeping up on her pain meds and turning her. She's still eating and drinking. Hopefully tomorrow the pain will be less.
