Happy Birthday Rio!
Happy birthday to my amazing Riobean. I’m sorry you’re spending your birthday going stir crazy on cage rest.
Rio sliced her front pad last week and is on cage rest. It was a very deep but clean cut, so she had a GA last Tuesday and stitches, which promptly came out overnight. She went back in on Thursday and was sedated again, and the cut glued and bandaged. Unfortunately we had to set off for the Champs on Thursday so I had to leave her at the vets, to be cared for by my dad for the weekend. I got back on Sunday to find the cut wide open again.
I did not want to subject her to another sedation/GA, so we have left it open. It’s going to scar up but is healing, with the help of some manuka honey dressings.
Kind of a sucky birthday for Ri, but she’ll live. We’ve promised her a beach trip next week if she’s healed.
