Roxi is acting very nuts after surgery!! this can't be normal - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

MyFairLacy · 03-16-2008, 11:01 PM

She's probably rubbing her face on the floor because her mouth is sore from having so many teeth pulled

Patti · 03-17-2008, 05:12 AM

Hope she is doing better and the vet can help.

melanie daley · 03-17-2008, 08:35 AM

Well Roxi had another tough night last night!! I'm just waiting for the vet to call me back so I can get her in.. Up all night running in circles, rubbing her face on the floor, even after the pain meds. but then she got an upset stomach too!! kill me now!!!!

Stella's mom · 03-17-2008, 08:43 AM

I'm so sorry she is having such a tough time, hope the vet gets her in soon. It breaks my heart when these little ones have problems. My little girl was spayed and 9 teeth removed but she didn't do any of the things you described. Sending you prayers

Bizzymammabee · 03-17-2008, 08:44 AM

Poor Roxi..seding prayers your way.

I volunteered at our local hospital in the recovery room for a few years. I learned that it is always better to stay ahead of the pain with meds than to let it get bad and then try to catch up with meds. You might be playing "catch up" and it will take awhile for the meds to get up to the levels needed in her blood. Keep giving the meds -- unless of course your vet finds another problem.

Good luck...we hope everyone ( you included) come through this just fine.

Hi... Update: Roxi seems to be a bit better today, I talked to her vet this morning and she even said it was very strange. We have an appt. w/ her in an hour so we'll see how it goes!! Again, thank you so much for taking the time to talk to me. I actually got about 3 hours of sleep last night and let my boyfriend stay up and watch her! The one good thing is that she is still eating as normal so that is a good sign!!
Cheers X

Patti · 03-17-2008, 01:23 PM

Keeping good thoughts. Hoping for good news!

Bizzymammabee · 03-17-2008, 03:46 PM

How is Roxi? You back from your appt yet?

melanie daley · 03-17-2008, 03:46 PM

So we have good news (we think)... The vet thinks that she is so irritated and itchy and she's rolling around trying to get relief.. she got some razor burn from where they shaved her belly and she has scratched it so much that it has become really irritated and red and puffy. so she gave me some topical ointment and valum to calm her nerves. so hopefully thats it!! thanks for all the good wishes, we REALLY appriciate it!

Oh thanks for being so nice.....I have loads of Scottish pals who have gone out there too....my Mum came the other way.....my gran moved from the US to Canada, had my Mum and they all moved to Scotland ! I have relatives all over there and some in England....my Mother's sister moved down there to Surrey many years ago ! You should look out for YORKIES247 Lynne on here......she is lovely and from England
It seems as tho' it's just me left here, most people I have known over the years have emigrated, as they are sick of all the sponging incomers and the goverment ! I would have gone too, but my hubby loves his job too much !
I'll catch you on again no doubt !
Me and my Yorkies(Tara, Tammy and Casper)...
(I am growing my hair again....it was shaved here, lol !)
At least YOU'LL know who this is in pic one !
Rick Parfitt...AAAAAAAAAAH !
Take care....Debra x x x
