UPDATE: Made it home with no events. The girls were great, they slept most of the time. I'm sooooo happy to have my baby girl home (so is daddy & Mia). Now the huge adjustments begin. The vet recommended that I keep Cali & Mia seperate when we are not around. Mia has already jumped on Cali's head a few moments OK so I'll keep my eye on them. Now...the meds....Dear God the meds!!! I can't stand giving meds to people much less my beloved baby girl who doesn't understand why I'm doing this to her. This morning I had to give her 4 pills and 1 liquid. It was a disaster and I was in tears and ill before it was all over. My husband relies on me b/c I'm a nurse but I never "force" my patients to take meds. Anyway, I called Julie from the vet school and she gave me some great tips and some history on how Cali has successfully taken meds. I can't say enough how great they have been and their treatment of Cali. When Dr. Ortinau did her discharge papers, at the end she wrote...."Thank you for allowing us to take part in the care of Cali. She is a sweet and special girl!" Now they may say this for everyone but I don't care, it made me feel great.
I do have some pics and I'll post them later. It's the girls on the ride home....sleeping.
Thank you for you continued prayers and support! Team Cali!!!
