| A veterinary surgeon performed Gracie's surgery. My regular vet assisted and has handled all of the pre and post-op care so far.

| Sunday update on Gracie I'm glad this thread is helping so many people who are about to go through the same thing with their babies. I'm sure every Yorkie is as different as every person in how their recovery goes from surgery. Gracie did a bit better last night than the night before. She was restless, but not as much and there was much less moaning. She was up at 1:30 for her first BM since she came home, then she was up at 3:00 needing more pain meds. This morning she is sleeping a lot, but seems alert when she wakes up. It might be that extra dose of pain meds last night. She is refusing water and only ate two bites of breakfast. It was all I could do to get her to take her Rimadyl in the pill pocket treat, she spit it out several times before she finally ate it. She usually loves it. If she is not eating and drinking by tomorrow (the vet said 24 hours of this was concerning) I will call the vet. I did get her to eat some Nutrical. She had one short episode of shaking this morning, nothing nearly as bad as yesterday. She seems to be getting better at positioning herself in bed, not needing as much assistance with that now. Thats about all the news for today. If anyone has any suggestions on how I can get her interested in taking water I am all ears. I have been forcing some down her with a syringe but I hate forcing her. I thought about boiling some chicken or white meat turkey without any seasoning and seeing if she will drink that broth. What do you think?

as far as her eating, i'd basically give her whatever she wants. her regular food, baby food, mighty dog, wet food, boiled chicken or hamburger, etc. even if its 'bad' like mighty dog, whatever gets her eating is good.

| Poor Baby! Just seeing the pics makes me so scared that we might have the same problem some day. It has got to take every minute of your day to care for her. I hope she feels better soon. Hugs from Chloe and Zoey.
