But, I see her surgery was scheduled for today. Poor girl, I would think her skin problems are what's causing her to not feel good.
No she is not getting spayed today. She was only if the derm said it was ok, but since she is on antibiotics and needs a medicated bath every week we are waiting until Nov 9th to get her spayed. Plus, the vet said it was slightly less risky to wait until her heat is fully over. I hope the meds start to work by then.
