Thanks to everyone for the good thoughts and prayers.
I love being a member of this herd!
:group:
Chippy's is doing very well.....better than I had expected or hoped for.
She's active, hungry, thirsty, poopin' & peein' !!
And she doesn't seem to be in too much pain.
She let me pick her up and I pushed and prodded at the surgery site...she didn't even flinch....I almost passed out.:thud:
She's got more stitches and staples than I've had in my last 3 surgeries!!geeeezzz!!
She's got a row going from one shoulder to the other. And then one down the middle of her chest.
They seem to be covered with something like liquid bandage.
She's not bothering at them at all.
There's almost no swelling, and all of the surrounding tissues look clean and healthy.
I can tell she's having a difficult time getting comfortable sitting and laying down.
But that will get better as things heal.
Right now she's sitting up on her hind legs and grooming her face and ears.:hearts:
Her front left leg seems to still be bothering her.
She keeps grooming it and pulling at the fur.
Would they have given her sub-q thru an IV in her leg???
I'll have to call and ask.
For now, all is well
We go back next Monday for our first follow-up.
