She has been taking little trips into the garden and I have been lifting her over the step as i don't want her jumping over anything right now. I had a little peek at her incision..its tiny!:eek: the vet did a superb job..he said it was only 1.25cm!! her mouth doesn't seem too sore either..she had 4 canines removed and 3 incisors, the vet also said she had a little tartar on a back tooth which he cleaned up for me..I think I know which tooth he meant as she had a large baby tooth that took a long time in coming out and that was what was causing the tartar build up..at least it will now be easier to keep her teeth clean. She is sleeping again right next to me..she does seem a little clingy and wants to stay close to me. I have washed her face and groomed her and she is looking more like her old self..she was even growling in her crate early this morning because she could hear another dog barking..that did make me chuckle!:D She has her post op check-up monday and then stitches come out on the 25th. I'm so relieved this is all over after stressing about getting this all done for the last few months! I kept putting it off as she is under 3lbs..so i was hoping she might gain a lil more weight and some more of those baby teeth might come out..some of them did when i started giving her fresh bones from the butchers:thumbup:
I don't go back to work till tuesday so i have lots of time to fuss over her and watch her carefully.
Anyway..i'll post some piccies of my little angel..she's been so incredibly brave and has hardly made a fuss..I'm such a happy mummy right now!!:D |
