| Gloria is home and.... while she's lookin' pretty rough... seems to be doing very well...
Her incision doesn't seem to be bothering her much, but her mouth is a little "ouchy" I think... the Dr. extracted three teeth.
They said she could stand to have a cleaning, but that would have required her to stay under anesthesia an additional 30 minutes... that was a little scary for me, so I decided the spay and extraction of her baby teeth was enough for one day....
The biggest obstacle right now is that she doesn't get up to potty... so when she has to wee, she just does... so I have her snuggled down, wrapped in a warm blanket (she's shivering a bit - - chills - - from the anesthesia I presume) - laying on top of a potty pad in my bed...
I haven't tried feeding her, but she did take a couple of licks of an ice cube and hasn't had any vomiting...
She sleeping well right now, so hopefully she'll have a peaceful evening.
While I was waiting to pick her up, I stopped off at PetSmart and picked up her little travel kennel, bed, etc. - - - got to the check out and the girl said... "awwww, did you get a new puppy".... I cried.... <<sigh>>
Gonna' miss this little face... but I'm so happy to have found Sylvia!!
I saw a post earlier about how often times new parents don't keep in contact once the babies go home... I know Glory is not a pup I raised... and we haven't even had her for very long.... but I am so happy that this won't be the case with Sylvia and her family!! Gloria will be right here on YT with us!! 
Anyway, she's doing well - thanks for the warm wishes and keep them coming for a quick recovery so she can get home to her new mom in time for vacationing in Lake Mead!! |
