The Drain!

Marley is home and she has a drain in her belly. It's pretty gross and dripping bloody fluid constantly. Because of the location, there isn't a way to bandage it. The vet says it's best with no bandage anyway but sometimes they allow people to put a loose bandage on them if they change it a couple times a day. Marley's won't be bandaged at all but I have her contained to an x pen in the front room for now. She'll likely stay there most the time for the first few days since they are likely to be the worst.

She gets the drain out Thursday and then she will get the stitches out later.

They didn't find a fifth hole which is good. They also cut my bill down quite a bit from the original amount. This vet's office has really been great to work with that way! Plus the vet has been absolutely wonderful! We still have at least 2-3 more visits before this is all over and done with but hopefully I have paid the final bill for this whole thing.

The good news is, the vet said she can start going on easy walks on leash. I'm really excited to take her out tomorrow. She's been going a bit stir crazy being cooped up in the house all week.
