Nova's spay day!

[.sarah]

How could two pounds lead to that

A pound of fat is a lot more than most people think. It's hard to believe, but it's probably a bit bigger than the size of your fist. We have a model at work, and it's really ... an eye-opener.

Thanks for your comment.

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

LOL Thanks

It's something like this: http://anatomical.com/product.asp?pn=WA7173

You can't tell the size from this picture, but this was the best I could find. Maybe I could put a quarter next to ours at work and take a picture. hmm..

Glad Nova is home and wishing her a fast recovery.

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

Almost gave me a heart attack!! lol... I am very glad the surgury went well! Get your appetite back Nova!

[anna_66]

Oh they do need to quit messing with you! I think I would have freaked if they would have said my dog didn't make it

Many healing thoughts coming your way Nova. Hope you'll be eating full force in no time!

[poofy]

Glad she is home and well..

Almost gave me a heart attack!!

Yes I almost had a heart attack too when I read that she didn't make it!!! I'm glad Nova is doing well, and she's probably so glad to be home!

I also freaked out when I read that first sentance. I used to do it all the time when I worked at the vets. I remember one of our co workers got a sheltie puppy that would eat just about anything. She would always bring the dog to work for x-rays to see if he had a blockage. He never did. So after about the 25th time we put a whole mess of items on the x-ray table under the dog... lined them all up perfect so it looked like they were all really inside the dogs digestive tract. We showed her the x-rays & she about blew a gasket. lol
Back on subject now.
Glad to hear she's doing good. I'm sure her appetite will be back today, most dogs don't even really care to eat the day of the surgery.

I'm used to it by now and I knew they weren't serious LOL. Plus, I do it to them too. Everyone at my work is such good friends and we always mess with each other. And sometimes it's hard to know when they're serious. Like Dr.D telling me she took out some fat ... I thought she was joking!

Oh man, that's so funny! LOL I can't imagine the lady's face.




Thanks everyone for the comments She still is acting funny about her food. I soaked it in water and then she thought it was good. She's just being picky. It's her "mommy, I went to the doctor and had surgery. I deserve better than that!" strike

Her energy level has increased today, but still not back to normal.

I'm glad to here that Nova's doing all right. Don't worry about her not eating. Molly and Astra didn't eat for about a day after their spay but now they (mostly Molly) eat like a horse! Hope you recover soon!

[shais_mom]

Goodluck to you and Nova!
