((hugs)) to the girl, hoe shes ok and feeling better soon :-*

[.dodger.]

I’m a little worried about Lucy, i am in work tomorrow so can speak to a nurse then but wondered if anyone knew if this was normal. It’s the day after her op and everything seems to be healing nicely except she has a lot of fluid in her hock/ankle area. I know it’s normal but it does seem to be getting quite big….? Anyone elses dog been through this and had the same fluid build up?

Gentle massage up the leg helps  :ok:

thanks Val will do that tonight…. was thinking maybe an ice pack could help take down any swelling? (is that a good or bad idea? ???

Aww just seen this Laura, glad she’s ok, hope the job’s going well, will check other post for an update  ;D  :-*

I would not put ice on it just a gentle massage up the leg, the more she gets moving the better it will be

She’s doing really well, fluid seems to be going down slowly but surely and she’s up and moving about a lot more. Still not putting much if any weight on it but she’s starting to flex it a bit more. She doesn’t seem to be in any more pain when she stretches either 🙂

It will be a long time before she weight bears on that leg best thing for her when the stitches come out with be a hydro pool

best thing for BB’s leg when the cast came off was swimming.  And boy could she swim.  Diving to bottom the whole lot – swimming and turning and just having a great time.  She aint got no limp when she in swimming  ;D

Glad it all went well hope she gets better soon  :-*
