Our little Molly got to come home yesterday (Sunday). She seems to be resting comfortably in her crate. She has to be on crate rest for 8 weeks.
We were told that you could almost hear a sigh of relief from her little brain when the pressure was taken off.
Her head is shaved from the base of her neck up to her little eye brows, but she's still a beauty. The stitches are internal so they will disolve.
She's on Cephalexin (antibiotic) and Predinisone (steroid) for the next 10 days. Gabapentin indefinately to be evaluated later, and Tramadol (pain med) as needed.
She's eating and drinking normally so at this point we couldn't be more happy.
A post op visit is needed in two weeks :drivecar:
Thanks everyone for the good wishes, I will keep updating her progress.

Oh Bev...I have been so worried about that baby. I'm so glad to hear this good news. Is she able to get of of her crate to eat and I guess for potty breaks? I am so happy for you and I will continue to keep Molly in my prayers. Hugs to you and Molly from Lily and me. :flwr:

Molly can come out to eat and potty breaks, but they don't want to risk her trying to jump up or twisting her neck around before it is healed. I carry her outside, but she can walk around alittle.
There is also risk that if activity is resumed too early, that may encourage the formation of scar tissue.
We can hold her as long as she cannot jump down. She's actually pretty pooped and prefers the sanctuary of her crate for now.
We're just so happy to have her home :jump: :jump: :jump:

Wonderful.
You are right to be conservative. Kendall (Rory's mom) felt Rory did too much too soon (not because she didn;t try to keep him calm but he's such an active boy and wanted to play with other dogs) and that probably caused a relapse about two months on that was very hard for her. Plenty of time ahead of her to run and play again; rest and healing for now.
She advises crating or quiet time outside the crate.

Tears of joy!! I'm so glad she's doing so well. The confinement is difficult but so necessary. It's well worth it after all you've been through to have this phase carried out succssfully. If nothing else...you have a good excuse to coddle and love on her incessantly for the next 8 weeks!! I'm just so incredibly happy for her and you!

Molly is gaining a little more strength everyday and I am beginning to see her personality shine through with each day. It's hard to believe it's been a week already.
Here she is resting in her crate
Here is a picture of her incision. You barely notice it because the sutures are internal.
