Default hospital bag!

Coco is getting spayed on Tuesday. and she will be hospitalized for 3 days. (my request)

So in preparation for Coco's hospital stay, I want her to feel comfortable and relaxed as possible. I never had a female dog nor a dog that had been hospitalized. I'm not sure what is appropriate and what needs to be brought to the hospital with her.

This is what I'm thinking
Her blankie
a small soft stuffed teddy bear (her favourite) *I just gotta perform a minor surgery on her myself*
Food and her bowl

The funny thing is that I'm not nervous about the surgery. Despite Korean culture being new to having dogs as pets and neutering and spaying is not common, this hospital is a US Army certified hospital and caters to the foreign community in Seoul (its located in the foreign district). So they do a lot of spay and neutering surgeries. Also Coco feels very comfortable with this vet (she doesn't realize shes at the vet with him until she gets a needle :P)
And this doctor despite his age in 3rd generation of vets. Actually his grandfather started the hospital and then his father is now the head doctor and him (koreans have this weird thing... they always must have head doctors known as won jang nim). So I'm definately not nervous about the surgery itself. BUt i'm nevous that she might get scared because she's at the hospital box room.

I'm trying to pack her a hospital bag to make her feel at home.

If I have forgotten anything, please let me know!
