Thank you, everyone, for your words of support and good questions to ask. There are quite a few that I had not thought of, and so I've added them to my (LONG) list. I will call the surgeon today and find out if I can make an appointment with her. For many of these questions to be answered, I guess she has to meet Bassett, so I'm not sure how all this would work.

Bassett's breathing has stayed quite calm over the weekend, so I'm pleased about that. I know there is fluid in there, but it's not affecting her as badly as it has before, so I'm going to wait for a bit before taking her in again.

Thank you all so much. You are all the best
