Hi everyone, I just wanted to share that Stella had her surgery today.
The Vet wanted to keep her over night
to make sure she was kept quiet but my roommate and I felt it would be
less stressful for her to be able to
come home. Unfortunately we both had to work evenings tonight and
couldn't stay with her but my sister stayed
with her to keep an eye on her. The Vet has put her on ampicillin as a
precaution, her pre-op blood work was
all good. Her liver functions are back within in normal range and her
Hct was higher than normal, the Vet feels
that is due to the interferon. She wasn't in heat yet and the Vet is
pleased with how well she did today. She
has to have her stitches out in 10 days. Her poor bald belly looks so
cute. She hasn't drank anything yet, she
did eat about 1/2 tablespoon of babyfood, and seems so dry. I don't want
to force anything on her yet thou.
Lillian has been crying outside the door of the room we have Stella in,
Sally quieted down once I let her sniff
Stella out for herself. Harry is totally indifferent since we brought
her back home. Funny, cause all three of them
were acting wierd all morning and couldn't settle down, like they were
wondering where Stella was and what
was up. Well, one down, one to go. We should be getting Lillian spayed
in the next few weeks, right now the
Vet wants to see a little more weight on her.
Thanks for listening and for caring,
Kathy B
