Sorry for the delay in letting everyone know how Lexi's spay surgery went on Monday. The surgery itself went well but she's been having issues pertaining to the medications since Tuesday. She was sent home with gabapentin for pain and a combo pain/anti-inflammatory pill vetprofin. Well, beginning on Tuesday she's really antsy, pants heavily and would cry - all of which are not like her at all. I kept her company while she was going through all that...
Yesterday Daddy called the vet and was told it was probably the gabapentin causing her reaction so she didn't get that medication last night. Instead they prescribed her trazodone which was supposed to calm her so she could sleep. Well, it didn't work. None of us slept past 1:30 this morning when she was moaning and really uncomfortable which for a dog means she was making soft growling and even crying sounds. Daddy brought her downstairs to her thick, comfy bed to get her to rest and she did do better down there...
We both stayed awake with Mommy until she got up at 4:20 to get ready for boot camp. I help her get ready every day so it was normal routine for me...
But Isabella was up and that is completely not normal....
So far today Lexi's been everything from restless to panting heavily to crazypants when our Chewy order came to even sleeping. She only got the vetprofen this morning and not the other two medications since they clearly are not good for her. We plan on napping today since our days and nights are turned around. Hopefully Lexi has turned the corner and will get better soon.
Hope all is well in your neck of the woods!
Angel
