We finally have some good news to report about Nestle and Hershey! It's taken a bit of time, but I think we may have finally turned a corner on their recoveries.
Hershey has been cone-free for about three days now. She has been stitch-free for about ten days. She's still on the super-potent medicine but the shaking and scratching at her ears has dramatically improved! She's more interested in scratching at her side where she had the tumor out than her ears. We decided to get rid of the coffee table so that she cannot smack her ear against anything hard, especially during these finals days of recovery. She's happy and much more comfortable now. We have about another 20 days of medication and we're hoping that this takes care of the nasty bug that was in her ear.
Nestle went to OSU for some follow-up Xrays on her knee. She was lightly sedated (and is rather out of it right now) for the Xrays but we got great news! The vet said that she is healing beautifully and that everything looks great. The Xrays revealed that the cut that was in her bone has healed like it should have and was difficult to find in the film (a good thing!). In one month, they said to expect that she will be at full activity level, just as she was prior to surgery. I'm not sure that she'll ever feel as great as she did before this all started happening, but we are very happy with the reports from the vet. She's a little limpy right now but I suspect that is from all of the manipulating they did to her leg while she was under. Hopefully tomorrow will be a little better for her. We're just going day by day around here....hoping that tomorrow is easier and less painful than today.
Thank you to everyone who has asked about our lovely ladies. They are lucky to have so many people love them!
