Ms. Ali came home yesterday.  She was doing so well the vet released her a day earlier. I'm must say she's doing so much better with her knee even after 1 day past surgery. She's having some pain though and that can be expected. She has a pain batch on but that's starting to fall off so I tapped it back on but it's supposed to come off tonight anyway and I have pain meds for her as well. She's been a bit fussy wanting to eat and not wanting to eat and moaning a bit when she's trying to go to sleep. I know she has gas. Everyone does after surgery and it's not nice. I rub her belly and shoulders cause I know that after surgery gas can be terrible in the shoulders. I'm assuming it's the same with animals. She's drinking and peeing and doing her doo so that's all fine. Her incision is just as big as the other one but it's a bit toward the back of her knee. I'm so happy that she's home and now it's just keeping her quite and still and letting her heal. Keeping fingers and paws crossed that she'll be fine when this all heals up. Thank you guys for being so supportive. I truly appreciate it. God bless you all.
