Hello!!

Been reading all your fabulous posts, I think I’d be lost without this forum! 

Well, Suki was spayed today! The poor little thing, what a bad mummy I am! So yeah, took her in this morning and picked her up after 5pm, with pain meds (Meloxicam), antibiotics (Baytril) and gut motilty meds (Zantaz syrup). Also a sachet of Protexin probiotics to add to her food/water. The nurse didn’t tell me that was included, was just in the post op pack.

She had some greens at the vets, and has managed some water when bringing the bottle to her. But other than that she’s not moved, pretty much still out of it! Her incision and stitches don’t look *too* great, there’s a lot of dried blood as they used glue for the sutres too, so I think some got caught up in the glue We were given a cone too, but I don’t want to put that on as it’s too lose, so it’s likey to ust come off, so we may try a belly band.

She’s having a good little clean as I’m typing this… I’m just waiting for her head to move down to her belly! Fingers crossed she won’t…but eep!

I’ve out down some wet baby spinach leaves and peppers, she enjoys that often so I’m hoping she’ll take to that. The only thing I’ve noticed is her left eye is constantly shut whilst her right is wide open…maybe it’s just a little swollen as she’s still drowsy! 

I’ve pretty much moved everything over to one corner of her cage so it’s all in easy reach…. please tell me if you think I should be doing anything else for now….. I think I see a couple of new poops from where she has been sat…. might be a few old ones though!  I’ll keep on updating with her progress, but right now I’m being a nervous mummy!!
