Lexie's Surgery






Our poor little girl. 4 months ago she had a foot infection. 2 weeks ago we treated it for a 3rd time with antibiotics and steroids. It came back so finally the vet recommended exploratory surgery last Thursday 10/28. Which means he cut her foot open between the toes and took out whatever was continuously infecting her. She has stitches and another antibiotic (while she was out we also had her teeth cleaned & nails clipped). She can't play or run on her foot for 10 days. But she is acting SO much better, back to normal. Last week she was hopping on 3 legs, now she's walking normally -- with her shaved toes and stitches. It's red, but the swelling and infection looks like its gone down significantly. I think we have a harder time with it than she does. We have the hardest time putting on her ugly little cone hat. As you can see, she's enjoying the time off her walks, but she is starting to get a little antsy and wanting to play outside more. Before & after pics.
