Peggy's injured Stifle After Surgery

This is what comes of chasing park squirrels and banging your 'knee' at 35mph against
something that got in the way.
Anyway it happened in a flash and I didn't even know a squirrel was there.
Complicated suture repair to a nick in the ligament, joint capsule and skin sutures;
and on a Sunday when vets are out of hours too.
She had a heavy seadative and then an antidote and is back home now well out of things.
She can wear an inflatable colar when she wakes up properly.
No jumping on beds, ramp essential into car, gentle short lead walks to back yard
and a little way down the road, loads of medications...
Karma payback perhaps for a squirrel she caught in the past.
She's certainly proving to be one of those high-maintenance greyhounds.
