Poppy post-op!

It is now two weeks since Poppy's surgery and she is hanging in there. At one week post op she started to go outside for brief periods of time to get some fresh air and sunshine which is critical for her healing.
Relaxing, not a normal position for a Kangaroo!

She likes her time out and we have been increasing it a little each day. We are cleaning and dressing the feet daily and keeping her medicated for the infection and pain.

She is also getting laser treatments on her feet to help decrease the inflammation, treat the infection and promote healing.

Which greens should I eat first!
Poppy has started to lose her appetite some so we are constantly looking for new ways to interest her in food. Good nutrition is essential for her recovery. Poppy is almost a 24/7 responsibility but she is one feisty little girl with a strong will to survive. She is a tough little kangaroo and well worth all the effort. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
One week after surgery!
The overall cost for Poppy's operation and after care is over $6000. If you would like to help Poppy please visit our fundraiser on Gulf Coast Gives . To learn more about Poppy visit Majical Miniatures.
