She's back

[linda_joyce]

I was at the vets by 5:50 but her post op nurse was busy with one of her other charges so we didn't get out of there until 30 minutes later. She was still alittle groggy when we got home but woke up quickly when offered food but could not figure out how to est it with her lamp shade on so I had to hand feed her. I have the feeling I will have to take the collar off for to drink, for a bright girl she is making heavy weather of feeding and drinking with a collar. We hadn't been in 5 minutes before we got the first attempt to get the collar off-- one paw either side of her head behind the collar and push like mad. She won't have much of a scar judging by the dressing over it, it's as long as my index fingure and about 3 tiimes as wide. She has a much bigger bandage on herleft fore paw where the drip was inserted. She had started whimpering at me but I gave her a small dose of the painkiller/anti-inflamitory she takes for her hips and she is laying on her chair watching the TV. I will have to take her for a short walk later, or maybe a short carry might be better.
