We picked her up earlier today from the vet and she is doing fine. She seemed a bit loopy from the pain killers, but once I talked with her, she recognized me and perked up. She hasn't acted like she has been in pain at all, but she's going to have a lot of medicine to help with the pain and make sure that there aren't any infections for the next few weeks.
The doctor said that 90% of his patients are in too much pain and don't bother to mess with the staples. So, or course Willow was already licking them before we got 5 miles down the road. This means that at certain times, we have one of the dogs with a lampshade on their head.
Willow is going to be confined to a crate for at least two weeks to keep her from running and jumping. Also, to keep the other dogs from licking her wound. We tried to make her as cozy as possible and got a really large crate (almost St. Bernard size) and populated it with the softest pillow that we could find and plenty of chew toys. I think she likes it as much as possible, she just hates being cooped up.
