Default Kimchi got spayed :p

Kimchi looked like a hot mess when I picked her up this morning (had decided to let her stay the night at the vet). Tried to put her in her crate and she just slips right out before I can close the door ^^; I can imagine she's sick of being kenneled in. She looks tons better after a couple of hours of being home. I wasn't able to sleep last night till after 2am X_x, though they said she was doing well, was worried about her emotional condition.
They fed her some before I picked her up and I fed her some good canned food and little treats she loves (a dab or two of whip cream, cause she got excited when she heard the coffee machine ^_^;;..) Since she had her front right leg shaved for the catheter, it looks so skinny, lol But yea, my little crybaby had cried most of the way home. Her teeth looks much better now that they got rid of the baby teeth.
Vet was surprised she let me see them and that I noticed them (I told them she had too many beforehand, they had a hard time examining her mouth as she doesn't like her face being handled, she had a bunch of teeth that were suppose to come out but hadn't). I was like "she opens wide for her treats ^^;;" and I check her teeth at least once a week or whenever I treat her. So I was able to notice that she had way too many at this stage. She's always been a front chewer and not so much on the sides.
So far so good and she hadn't exerted herself too much like she normally does and has took it easy. As long as she can continue to do so, I won't have to force her into her crate. I went ahead and gotten a cone for her at Petsmart, just incase (and also not a real bad idea to have on hand) even though the vet had already offer one if she kept licking. She randomly whines, but that's expected. I know she doesn't feel good and that she's a whiner, anyways. She does perk up real good whenever I brought out the can of whip cream
Because I went with all the recommended precautions, her bill came up a pretty penny ^^; But I don't regret it, as long as she's doing well. Thankfully I have tomorrow off, so I can keep an eye on her. Told everyone don't let her get on the couch or anything and to make sure she isn't licking or something. She weighed about 9lbs before surgery and I'm sure she lost a lb after. The pain meds they gave me is for half a pill a day (they already cut it for me), and they already gave her one this morning. Though I'm wondering if it really could last most of the day X_x;
