wow, ok. that's a little scary but maybe she'll perk up. she has been a little shaky today though not as bad as yesterday. she is up and around more, but still groggy. i do think it's the medicine because she just seems restless and a bit listless. but it's a good sign that when my husband comes home she perks up and even wags her tail. she is also a bit jumpy and i wonder if that is pain related. it has been 4 days since surgery and the care sheet said she can resume normal activity after 3 to 5 days so i let her jump on the couch. but shortly after that, she darted down and was hunched over as if in pain and then she began to shake. i can't help but think that if she is on the deramaxx, she shouldn't be in such pain...
on the positive side, her incision looks really good and the pinkness is even starting to go away. she did okay with her e-collar last night other than just lying completely still and not knowing how to react to the strange thing.
thank you for all of your support! i think i will call the vet to see if they recommend taking her off of her pain meds. she only has one dose left but it is 24 hour medicine so she will have it in her system until at least tonight.
i'll keep you all updated. i am feeling much better now that she is recovering a little... she is still not my peanut that i know and love, but hopefully we'll get there soon.
