An Update - Finally!

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!

UPDATE: I'm Home!

What the halibut is that thing?

Ignore my little sisfur. She's a drama kitty. Yeah, she hissed at me but she can't bop me with this stupid thing around my neck so she can hiss away. Anyway, the vet stole ALL my teefs! Granted I didn't have many left but she took all I had! Seems that I had stomatitis which Mommy suspected long ago but our regular vet would never diagnose it. The dental specialist took x-rays today and she could tell by my roots that I had it so she had to steal all my teefs. She gave me really good pain stuff that lasts for three days so I feel okay right now. I hate the stupid cone and it comes between me and my foods so Mommy fed me with a spoon...

Eventually she figured out she could turn a bowl upside down and put the food on the now right side up bottom and I can reach it. The vet said for me not to eat much but I missed 16 two meals so here's what I think of that!

Thanks to everyone for the purrs and prayers! The next week or two will be a challenge for all of us but I'm looking forward to feeling better soon!

Hope your day was better than mine!

PeeS: I was given an inhaler twice by the anesthesiologist during the procedure. They were just as precautions but Mommy and Daddy were glad she was paying close enough attention to be proactive. Everyone treated me very nice and answered all the questions my peeps had this morning and then when they picked me up. The final cost was $2,099.23 and I'm worth every penny!
