On the Mend after Setback

Ginger developed a wound infection a week ago and had to go back for debridement and closing, again. She came home with bags of IV fluid and Amikacin, but tolerated daily infusions and injections. Although the surgeon maintained a preference for wounds being open to air, my solution was a loose t-shirt to at least keep the area from all the dirt on the floor the other dogs bring in. The area is clean and dry so maybe the staples will come out at the end of the week.

She hasn't objected to the t-shirt - probably because so much of her coat has been shaved, including legs for various IV's.

Our driveway is a skating rink and we're supposed to get more nasty weather this week. Having to be in the house 24/7 is making me notice all the painting, cleaning, etc., so it's definitely cabin-fever.
