Maggie is a sorry sight. They shaved all the way up her leg and across half her back. She's allowed some weight bearing but we help support her too, with a towel under her body. We are asked to ice the knee a few times a day. Now this sounds simple enough but not with Maggie. This is a dog that has never, never laid down beside us not even as a puppy. Our first attempt went badly, she went berserk, fighting to get away in the confines of a crate so we stopped. We'll give her a day then I'll try just putting a face flannel on her leg then rewarding with a clicker and some yummy food. We're also expected to stretch her leg! There are fun times ahead.
