Poor Angel was awake and crying all night long .... today, I just couldn't take it anymore .... her little bottom was being poked and rubbed by the big metal splints .... I had to take them off of her!!!! The vet special made them and they weren't cheap... LOL... but the tiny girl was miserable with them on. For one, they were still way too big for her tiny legs. Dr. Lavalley had said that her legs would heal on their own, whether or not they were splinted .... she was just trying to straighten them out some. But you know what? Angel can walk on them, so they are a bit misformed, I DON'T MIND!!!! You all just would NOT have believed how appreciative this baby was as soon as those old things were off of her! She immediately climbed up to my shoulder, layed her little chin down and PURRRRRRED her heart out! I bathed her little booty to clean all the poop that had gotten stuck all over the place, and she slept ALL DAY on the living room chair. Now she is snuggled down in Mommy's bed for the night! Of course, I have a picture to share!
