Yep, I brought my girlie girl home and just now got her all settled in. She cried a little on the drive home but certainly nothing like she did when we were driving to the vet's. On the way there it sounded like she was crying "Uh oh!" On the way home, it sounded like "Oi!" LOL I think it's simply that she just wanted out of the carrier because the vet gave her an injection for pain. The name of the drug escapes me but it's related to morphine. She sent me home w/3 more doses of the stuff, to be squirted on Puddy's gums beginning tomorrow morning. Oh boy. That's gonna be fun. Hopefully, her reflexes will be a little slower than usual or mine will be quicker so that she can't bat the syringe out of my hand. And she's on Clinamycin, a powerful antibiotic. I was on that myself after my surgery. And Dr. Lee may decide to put her on Prednisolone but didn't for now. I also was on that after my surgery. Seems the Pud and I are a lot alike.

She wouldn't eat for them at all and they gave her snacks similar to Tender Vittles. The vet said "Most cats LOVE this stuff." Right. Most cats. We're talkin' about the Pudilator here. My cats only eat dry, no treats. Well, I had some more chicken luncheon meat and tore a little piece off for her and she scarfed it down. She ate the equivalent of a whole slice. And no more crying. Sigh. I'm so glad. I'm sure she must have post op pain but she's snuggled in her little cat condo and seems to be content now. I think it's best to keep her away from the other furkids for a day or so, even though she seemed to want to be with them. I allowed it for a few min. but that's it. My younguns are too rambunctious and I don't want her sutures to come loose.

So, now I just wait for the results of the biopsies to come back next Wed. and we'll go from there. I'm not going to borrow trouble; just going to enjoy my little Pud and give thanks. And thanks to all of you for your encouragement. Gonna go check on my girlie girl now.

Blessings,
