Question Dog had surgury

[bell_peaches]

she has gone potty. She has eaten She wont stop drinking. I tried wraping her head with the gauze no way she would not leave it on. When I got it off of her it was bloody and yuky. It is what the doc said to expect. I put her back in the crate. I guess I will have to leave her crated in the living room . I don't want to close her in the bathroom. This way she is with us. She has to take anitbiotics wich are the size of a horse pill twice aday. I need to get cheese to sneak it to her. I hope.

Glad Mrs. Magoo is back home now.

Make sure to keep an eye on her (no pun intended) and make sure she doesn't rub at her eye.

Also check to make sure your antibiotics don't say not to give with dairy products before giving them with any cheese. Some antibiotics don't work well with dairy products as the calcium interferes with the absorbtion.

Baytril (Enrofloxacin),
Dicural (difloxacin hydrochloride),
Zenequin (marbofloxacin), and
Ciprofloxacin (cipro)
should not be given with dairy products.

We usually have a bright orange label for these meds. I don't know for sure if there are others out there, but of the ones we use at work, those are the only 4 we've had to use the orange labels with.

Also as for the water drinking...Is she by any chance on Prednisolone (cortisone) for pain or inflamation?? That would cause a great increase in water drinking.

Oh my is she mad at me. She looked at me with her one eye and peed right in the crate in front of me. I had just had her out a half hour ago. I am trying to keep her inside because it is raining outside and I don't need the stitches getting wet. I am now washing the blankets she had. a new blanket is in there with her. My son came home and said mom let her out of that crate I tried explaining why she had to be in there. Of course he did not believe me. I said let her out I will take her out in the yard again. He decided to pet and rub her she rubber up against him he says mom I am covered in blood and yuky stuff. I laughed and said I guess I was telling the truth about having to keep her in the crate. She has tried rubbing her eye against the couch she has done it against my leg three times now. She doesn't understand what she is doing when I try stoping her. This is going to be one long week for the family and her. We all hate seeing her in there.

She is on the meds called Amoxicillin 500 mg every twelve hours. says nothing about dairy no warning lables of any kind I guess I start them tomarrow. I think she is uncofortable she is panting like crazy. They said I could give her asprin. I think it may be time to give her one. I will stay up to tell My husband what the doc said Then I need to go to bed I need to work extra hours tomarrow. Mrs. Magoo is our christmas we spent all the money on her this year. It cost much more than what we thaught I will have to call electric company and get an extention to pay. But she is worth it.

Amoxicillin is fine to give with dairy products.

Just make sure that both the Amoxi and the Aspirin is given with food and not on an empty stomach. Doesn't need to be much food, it's just sometimes tummy's get upset on those if it's empty.

I sure hope this week passes quickly for you and Mrs. Magoo, and hopefully she'll stop rubbing soon and the tests will come back with no cancer!

Best wishes for you.
