Day 4 post amputation
The morning went fairly normal, for my post amputation pup we prepared our nutritious breakfast, vitamin supplements and borage of pain killers and antibiotics. As I was doing this notice that there was a little more swelling in his pubic area and the bruising had moved a little as well. When I picked him up after work from doggie day care at his Veterinary office Dr. Weber came out and let me know that the swelling was keeping him from having a normal urine expulsion but not to worry this will pass shortly, I can put a little ice pack on it to keep the swelling at bay and all should go back to normal in no time. It is a little graphic but I thought I would show a photo of the bruising and swelling for others to see what is in the realm of normal. It is a blessing to be able to drop him off at the Vet office every day so all questions are always answered for us…..and we always come with questions it seems.
I should also mention that the day before Dr Weber had me text and E-mail several photos to see what was going on…This was on a Sunday, how fortunate am I that I can consult with an exceptional Veterinary staff 7 days a week and by several methods.
Thank you Dr. Weber

I wish I could remember who just wet through some “similar” swelling issues with her female dog….I’m gonma say “Dottie” ……I think…anyway’ her little “privates” stayed swollen for awhile. In this particular case I think they figured out it was an infection and they used antibiodics to clear it up. I’m sure your vet has ruled that out though.
Sounds like Sloane is really doing well and it’s still so very early in recovery! That’s auch good news. Can’t wait to fast forward to when recocery is complete……your are going to be so thrilled!
Keep getting better and get that pee pee flow going strong:-)
Sending you healing energy,
