Her foot was soaked from all her biting at the bandage. I called the vet and asked if it could be removed sooner than Friday. Took her in this morning and it was removed. "Hallelujah", I thought. "Freedom at last". I was wrong. She still has to be crated for two more weeks and then gradually introduced to her freedom. Well...at least she won't have a constantly wet foot. Update: Messy bandage removed...I couldn't stand it any more. Found a safe place with nothing to jump on, where she could stretch her legs: http://isabelcutler.com/BeegiesFirstSteps.wmv I am happy that she immediately put weight on the repaired leg. Very good sign.
