She's home! Totally tired. She came in sporting her e-collar, let us pet her head for about 1 minute then as I was still wondering if she could fit into her x-pen with the collar on she pushed passed me, went in and curled up on her bed. She's hardly moved since, except to fidget. We even had dinner (she's in the dining room), the dog next door barked, nothing. Not a sound from her. Even though I 100% know this was the right thing to do, I feel awful. Dh said when he picked her up she wagged her tail at him.
The vet said we should keep the collar on solidly the entire 2 weeks.

I plan to leave it on for at least a couple of days solidly but then take it off when she's laying right with us in the living room. Provided she's not trying to fuss with her stitches constantly.
They sent her home with pain meds for tomorrow and "as needed." How do I know? I plan to start her off in the AM with some anyway, but after that?
And the biggest shock!? THEY SHAVED A RING AROUND HER RIGHT LEG. :scared: She looks like I started to do a continental clip on her and got frightened and stopped. I know it's silly but I was totally not prepared for that! It looks ridiculous. How on earth are we going to make this look good? I'm taking her to the groomer in 2-3 weeks (after stitches are out and we get the OK).
Thanks for the good thoughts everyone.
