Sparky didn't get to come home today. The vet had to clean out her jaw again. I'll go and visit my baby on Monday and talk to the vet. I'm feeling so discouraged.
 
Thanks everyone! I know that Sparky is getting the best treatment possible. I'm just worried that she is getting depressed and will give up. I'm going to talk to my vet about bringing her home and taking her in daily for whatever treatment she needs. It's an hour round trip for just driving time, but I don't care. I think she needs to be home with me and Scooter.
 
If she's not on fluids (IV).... it sounds like a good idea. Why are they saying she can't come home now? Maybe doc's worried about infection?
 
She's not on IV. She has to have her jaw repacked every day and I can take her in for that. She also has daily injectible bicillin, but this is something I could do. I think she would do better here with me loving on her than at the vets office.
 
I went and visited Sparky today and she seems to be doing well. They took her staples out this morning and they said her incision is healing well. The vet is going to mask her this afternoon and take a good look inside her mouth. She is continuing to have bicillin injections and is still not eating good on her own. She has lost a pound since 12/31/10.

She seemed to be pretty perky and was glad to see me. By the end of the visit, her ears were standing up instead of laying flat. I really hope to be able to bring her home tomorrow.
 
Sparky is home!!!! I still have to give her bicillin injections, flush her jaw, syringe feed her and give inumerable meds every day.....but she's home!!!!
