December 8, 2009: 6 days post-TPLO



How quickly things change! The little swollen patch on the outer incision that I thought was turning into a seroma yesterday is pretty much gone today, probably because even more of the swelling in the leg is gone. You can see some definition around his hock in the lower picture. There is still a little bulb of fluid on the back of the callus on the hock itself. It jiggles when he walks.

I went back to pain pills every 6 hours since stretching it to 8 hours didn't work yesterday. I did reduce the number of pills from 6 to 5, and that seems to be just fine. Winston is less restless and seems more comfortable today. It's all trial and error.
