I had a night downstairs with Ellie as I believed it would be cooler for her with her collar on. Eventually I got her to settle in front of the fan. Half an hour later, the storm started which set her off panting again. I didn’t get too much sleep again.
We took her for her little walk at 6am, after her first pain killer.
We take it in turns watching her during the day, compresses, tablets and ensuring she doesn’t pull the cling film looking cover off her wound. Mal went to the allotment and when he returned I went shopping.
