Yes, she is wearing the E collar for at least 10 days, possibly 14 days. And I have plenty of pain meds for her for 5 to 8 days. The sutures are mostly internal, and the rest are dissolvable, so she does not have to return.

Lacey has been sleeping since she arrived home. I've offered food but thus far she is only interested in sleeping -- here on the sofa in the family room with all of us. The effects of the anesthesia can leave her groggy for 1 to 2 days.

She is on leash walks for bathroom business only, for 10 to 14 days, no long walks until she is fully healed. She is not "supposed" to jump, but she hopped up on the sofa when we first got home before I could stop her.
