Thanks @Cath I will get my OH to pop into ALDI and see if they have them.

Harley is getting there. The swelling in her paw has gone which is great. She’s still taking all her meds still. She definitely needs to be monitored 24/7 as she’s becoming more confident at walking on 3 legs. My OH stayed home with her yesterday as I had a job I couldn’t rearrange. She was good as gold for him - she doesn’t always listen to him, but did yesterday.
This morning I had the pen open very slightly as I was putting on my shoes and she escaped past me to the back door! I nearly had a heart attack!
We are currently chilling in the garden. I’m going to try and get some work done today - we’ve moved my computer to the living room so she can see me. Fingers crossed

 

[HAH]

You’re all doing so well @Naya . Well done, and keep fueling yourselves too xxxx

 

[MellowYellow]

That is such a positive update!

 

[Cath]

You are really doing so well with Harley, well done @Naya. Don't forget to look after yourself too

 

[Joy]

Great to hear your update - sounds as if Harley is feeling well in herself. x

she escaped past me to the back door!

This may be undesirable, by by golly it shows she getting her mojo back.

We had a vet appointment today. All of the bandages are now off and hoping to remove stitches on Monday. They are really impressed with her progress and how well she is managing. They are also happy that she is starting to want to put some weight on her leg whilst standing.
Preliminary biopsy is that the tumour was benign. They are doing a few more tests just to confirm. My OH has been away for 48 hours and made me realise how mentally exhausting it is to be a lone person looking after a poorly dog. He’s just come home so and I’ve got to start teaching in 20 mins!

This. I felt this too my core. It’s so incredibly mentally exhausting but we push through for our babies

 

[Jacqui-S]

What lovely news!
But do look after yourself

 

[Joy]

You must be so relieved to hear the tumour is benign, and great that Harley is recovering so well. x

That’s really good news! I hope you can now feel a bit more relaxed and Harley continues to make good progress.

So pleased for you all

@Naya that’s brilliant news. Every day I’ve had a quick look first thing to see if you’ve posted any news on Harley’s test results. I was so happy to see your post this morning and that it’s all looking so positive. Harley’s impressive recovery after the op just shows how well you and your OH have been looking after her. It’s hard work I know but the way she’s going it won’t be much longer. Of course then you’ll be trying to stop her doing too much.

 

[edzbird]

Good news @Naya. I hope OH can do a care shift to give you a chance to relax and rest, knowing Harley is on the mend

 

[Naya]

This madam is going to drive me mad! When I was teaching this morning she decided to lick her stitches so the dreaded collar had to go on!

So pleased the op went well. And the prelim results. What a relief.

Can you put a long sock over her leg when you can’t watch her? It’s probably very itchy as it heals.
