There is another dog on the orthodogs list that might have their screws backing out in their leg. This one is 5 weeks post-surgery. Oh dear Lord, I pray that Darby’s are holding.

She worries me that she is walking all the time on the leg. She limps every once in awhile, but for the most part she is putting full weight on the leg. She’s keeping relatively quiet though I know she’s bored to tears. She lays quietly on her orthobeds and sleeps most of the day. She will follow me around the house a bit and I have to hurry her back to the orthobed and make her lay down.

Today we have freezing rain and I’m very scared. I’m afraid she’s going to slip on the ice out in the run. I’m going to have to start using her sling again to steady her. If she slips, I’m sure she’ll damage the surgery site.

Its suppose to be warmer tomorrow so hopefully everything will melt. The next 12 hours are going to be very dicey around here.
