Pixie is home from her LP surgery!!

[Yorkie3]

Poor sweet Pixie....she'll heal fast now that she's home with those she loves.

[Patti]

Thanks so much.
BonBon-Thanks for the reminder. My husband was on one side of her and I was kneeling right next to her just to get the picture. I know at any moment she will surprise me and move. Right now all she is doing is laying in her crate.
SHe only had her left leg done. Hopefully we will not have to do the right one. I was really surprised that they kept all her long hair and only shaved the leg.
Connie and Baby Blessing I wish you were close by too, we could all help each other!
I will update later. Thanks again everyone, my baby is home!!!

if opium based pain pills like torbutrol or tramadol they will pant and breath heavier so this could be just from the pain meds

happy she made it through great and hoping for a speedy recovery

yeah they probably gave her an injection too and that is probably what is doing it as those are much stronger as doubt tramadol is doing it - usually it is butorphanol as demi had this when she had so many extractions of teeth and she was doing the same thing and i called asking about it and dentist said it is normal for opium drugs to cause this but just to be safe give your surgeon a call

here is a list of all pain control meds and what side effects you may see

I'm so glad she is home poor thing. I really hope the recovery period will go quickly for her.

poor Pixie, sending prayers for a speedy recovery!!
It is so cute how concerned her sisters are.

Thanks. I am going to call the animal hospital about the panting just to be safe.

Those pictures of your pups are just adorable. I was alone in my office looking at them and had to say "awww" out loud. SOOO CUTE!!

Patti, you're such a good momma to your little ones. I should have known you were on top of things.
