Nova's spay day!

[.sarah]

Today / tomorrow (it's 3:45 in the morning ) is Nova's spay day. I'm staying up all night with her. Mandy and Luka played with her for a while and now I've put them in their crates to spend quality time with her. I want her to be tired for the big moment. I'm sure she won't be, though. When she was sedated to check her hips she had been playing a lot and still was hyper by the time I got her there

I really wish I was scheduled to work tomorrow morning. I have the pleasure (and sometimes pain) of being able to sit with the animals when they're waking up from surgery. I want to sit with my baby ... I might stay, but I think I'll probably get in the way. I work tomorrow afternoon, though.

Pawsitive thoughts coming Novas way!

Good luck Nova.

Keep us posted.

Well, she's there now. They told me I could stay ... but it isn't going to be done until 10:30 so it seems a little pointless. I may go back, but it depends on how many assignments I can submit before then for school.

Good luck Nova!! {{Positive thoughts and Prayers on the way for a speedy recovery!}}

I went into work today at 12:00. Dr. D and Leah told me she didn't make it ...

They need to quit messing with me. LOL. But then again, I'm the exact same way so I'm one to talk.

Anyway, we've been home for two hours now. She's fine, but very groggy. She hasn't eaten yet so I'm a little concerned about that. If she hasn't eaten by mid-morning tomorrow, back to the vet we go. Hopefully her appetite will kick in. We had a very slow day today and I let her walk around the clinic for the last 30 minutes and she was finding a few kibbles that we had dropped at feeding time. ... How her appetite dissapeared after 3-4 kibbles I don't know, but it did.

She lost about 1lb from the surgery. Before, she weighed 64, and after 63. She gained weight over the weekend (my brother's fault. I literally can't go to Target without my dog's getting fat ) ... about two lbs actually. Dr. D couldn't even see through the fat layer that was created over the weekend, so she had to take out the fat. That's why she lost so much weight. Her food will have to be reduced to get rid of the extra pound. Thank God the fat was able to be taken out! I'm having a horrid time getting it off Luka. Almost gone -- but geeze, food from one night shouldn't leave her "bloated" for three days! ... Getting off track now

How could two pounds lead to that

Anyways, I'm glad she is home. Hopefully she doesn't need to go back to the vet.

Glad the surgery went well and thats home again.

all paws and fingers crossed that your girl will stuff her face soon!
