Kayleigh has a root abcess in one of her molars. She is having surgery to remove the tooth on Monday. She did alright at the vet today. She never did let Dr. Rick have a really good look at her mouth, but she also didn't take his hand off when he kept trying. A few years ago that's exactly what she would have done! Today she just turned away and whined. She really has come a long way!
I took her for a run before the app't. She wasn't as excited as usual, but she rolled in the snow and chased a Raven or two. I got some pics of her playing in the snow. I'll post them later. I think the cold felt good on her face. She spent alot of time with her head under the snow.
The waiting room at the clinic was empty when we got there! Phew! I left her in the truck until they were ready for her. She walked on to the scale, stopped for her weight and then right into the exam room. They have a big note on her booking for Monday to keep her away from cats and other dogs.
Other than the tooth issue, Kayleigh appears to be in good health. I'm getting some blood work done before they put her under just to make sure. It takes alot of drugs to knock a dog her size out and I want to make sure her kidney and liver can process it all. Last time she was at the vet, Dr. Rick said she needed to loose a few pounds. She's down to 107 which is about perfect for her!
She was even good in the truck when I ran a couple errands!
