So Nina is home now and last night was certainly rough! We brought her home, fed her, and tried to soothe her for being in the crate. She was crying so much, not out of pain, but anxiety. Poor thing. She wet herself right there in the crate, twice!!! She has never done that before. I think she was just so out of it and upset with the whole unpleasant experience. We were so lucky that she only peed on the non-operated leg!! So we had to sponge bathe her twice and I paged the surgeon at 12am. She reassured me that it happens sometimes and to just watch her and make sure that it doesn't continue. Alex and I took "sleeping" shifts, one had to be up to watch her all night! Alex got the lesser end of the deal and is asleep right now! Nina is doing much better, no more accidents! But boy does she hate the e-collar. I bought some "chill out" oil, an organic herbal aromatherapy oil that smells wonderful! I rubbed it behind her little ears and just a dab on her bed. It really works!! The minute I started to massage her ears, she stopped whining! And now she's fast asleep in her crate.
Thanks everyone again for your love and support, we sure do appreciate it! Just wanted to provide an update
Have a wonderful weekend everyone! I think I will be taking some time off from school/work this monday tuesday to be with her. She needs to be spoiled with love and attention, even if it's just me sitting here next to her crate while she sleeps! (for the first fews days anyway
)
Thanks yorkie talkers
Lots of love to you and your furbabies!!!
