Coco is improving. Thank dog.
She had another episode this morning of really bad pain, BUT…it wasn’t as bad as I saw it happen yesterday evening, and it passed much faster. She relaxed and laid down after just a minute or two. And it didn’t happen again for the rest of the day!
In fact, she was feeling so much better, she wanted to walk around the house a bunch, which I was reading in the doctor’s notes that she’s not allowed to do for a few weeks, SO…
She’s now in a crate. Poor thing. But, she needs to be on strict rest or else she’s at risk of injuring herself again, or making the existing injury worse, and “worse” could mean literally life-threatening consequences, so crate it is for a while.
It’s just such a relief to see her feeling even a little bit better. She had a slight pain episode tonight after having her meatorade, but no spasms, and it passed quickly. That’s improvement. It means that those pain episodes so far haven’t injured her any further.
So stressful.
What wasn’t stressful: podcastin wit J. We watched Singin in the Rain. It’s such a good, charming movie. Not perfect, for sure, and we definitely talked about that, but it’s solid. And the podcasting itself was great.
A very nice evening. Now in bed with bear, Coco is asleep. Bed time.
