Just got her back from the vet. Her back leg is still rather swollen and red but she is able to put a fair amount of weight on it which according to the vet is a very good sign that there will be no lasting issues with the use of the leg. She is on an antibiotic and pain medication with a antibiotic cream to apply to the bite area. The vet said the biggest hurdle with be when the skin begins to slough off and how much of it sloughing off will really depend on just how venom was injected. That process usually starts about 4-5 days after the bite. So we will see... She is tired but still has enough energy to be the goofy Lab she is. It's good to have her home... Not good that I now have to leave for work!
Thanks again for all your thoughts and words of encouragement....
