Great news!! I know the relief has washed over you. I can almost feel it. I need to take Delilah in for a good cleaning and I'm dreading it.

Feel better Sasha and have a good night!!

Ah, I am so glad to see this update! I've been waiting all day!

I also need to take Zoee in for a cleaning and she's only 4 years old. But I'll still be a nervous wreck!

I still keep you guys in my thoughts until Sasha is home where she belongs.

We are home. She is quite groggy. I figured she'd be much more alert. I had to carry her to the truck, into the house, to her room. She cried in the truck on the way home, I drove too fast but had to get her home and medicated. I spoon fed her some wet food with the meds hidden within. She never noticed the pills. She had a little wet poop on her yoga mat, cleaned it up and her. She will get a nice bath when she's up to it. She is resting now. I'll be sleeping with her tonight to ensure I don't miss any distress she might be in. I feel awful for doing this to her. But the bad tooth was so very infected, it had to come out.

I'm so glad that Sasha is home, safe and sound in your loving arms. I remember years ago when RB Cody had a tooth pulled (he broke it on a rawhide bone), and it was the first time I ever saw him in distress. He went through 2 ACL surgeries just fine. I guess, like we humans, dental work can suck. I don't remember what it was (not Rimydal) but he seemed much better after his painkillers. It didn't take him long to recover, really. He ate slowly (shock) but it was only a few days and he was his silly self. I hope Sasha recovers quickly. You HAD to remove the tooth, so don't feel bad. Infected teeth can cause so many other problems. And you're a great mom for sleeping with her! I would too! Hugs and kisses to both of you!

We had kind of a sleepless night. Sasha did quite a bit of coughing. I'm guessing her throat was irritated from having a tube down it. At 2 am she wanted outside and was able to walk by herself, with supervision of course. She slept well after that. She's eaten a bit of the wet food this morning, will get more in a bit with the rest of her meds in about an hour. I think she will be fine. We go back to the vet in 10 days for a recheck on the infection.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and comments.

I'm still tinking of you two today. Feel better Sasha girl. I can so relate to this and how you feel. It's such a tough decision to make to have them put under at this age but it's for the best for them in the long run. Sasha will thank you in a day or two. I hope you both can get some rest today.
