Feb 25 Night - First Night Home

We get home and realize that we don't know what to do. We need to keep her bandages clean. When she goes potty we are to put something on them so they do not get dirty or wet. A nurse told us to use a hair dryer if they get a little wet.

We get home and put her in her favorite bed on the couch next to us. She pees on her bed and herself. She's really drugged. The nurse said she had a shot that was similar to morphine and will be out of it for a day or more.

Chris and I decide we are unprepared. I go to Petco for pee pads, doggie diapers, a new pad for her to lay on and her favorite treats, Tater n' Tots.

I get home and we set her up. While I was gone, she peed a little on Chris while he was holding her.

She eats some boiled chicken and a couple treats. She drinks a lot of water. We take her out to her potty and wrapped her legs in saran wrap. It's hard to get on and plan on getting baby socks tomorrow. Much easier.

I give her the antibiotic. It's small, so I open her mouth and drop it at the back of her throat, she swallows and it's that easy.

We all go to bed about 10. Bunny has been going in her crate at night since we found out about her luxating patellas. So she is ready to go in her bedroom when we tell her. We carry her in and lay her down and she goes to sleep.

Goodnight Bunny, we are happy that you are home.
