Right side, nice and fluffy and full like it should be in winter.

I didn't notice this until Monday night. They shaved her to get blood at the emergency vet! At first I was upset because the regular vet has never had to shave her to get blood and I thought they must be inept if they can't get it without shaving her, but now I don't mind. If it made it easier for them to get blood from her, that meant less trauma for her, and that's all that matters to me. I would much rather have them shave her than to be poking around and miss the vein and have to try again and all that.
Now I don't like it because it reminds me of being at the emergency vet and all the horrible feelings the place brings up. But it will grow back and she'll be all better in no time. :D
She is acting 100% normal now. Eats, drinks, pees, poops, plays, hisses at CJ - everything just like normal. ;) :D
Oh, and the spot is much bigger than it looks in the pic. As usual she wasn't being very cooperative during the photo shoot. I would say the spot is about...maybe 2" x 2" or so.
