Kia and Chipper need surgery

[ramanth]

Kia's surgery went well & one broken tooth was removed. She took a little longer to wake from the anesthesia, was in pain when she did, so they increased the dosage of painkillers, & she's resting now. Will check back @ 4:30 to see if she can come home tonight.

When I called at 4:30, they told me to stop in at 5:30. Unfortunately, Kia wasn't up for it. The vet could get her to stand but she wouldn't move. So Kia is staying the night at the vets.

Chipper has a followup tomorrow morning and hopefully Kia will be well enough to come home then.

Here's hoping everyone gets to be home tomorrow, and is healing well!

Kia is home!


Her face is slightly swollen on the right side, but she is eating. Nothing but rest and relaxation for her.

Chipper's ear is looking good. If all goes well, he'll have the stitches removed next Thursday.

Weeee, the whole gang together again, and on the mend! Congrats! Hope everything continues to heal smoothly!

So happy to hear Kia is back home! Not as happy as you are though, eh?
Good Chipper news too.

Sending hugs and kisses to them both.

Chipper got the stitches and ear bandage off last Thursday. The cone has to stay on another week. It's healing up really nice and he hasn't tried to really get at it. I think most scratching at this point is due to the annoyance of the cone (his neck and head itch).

Ear a bit raw right after the stitches came out
