December 17th, 2020: Amputation day.
A heart wrenching day for the whole family.
Dropped her off at 9am this morning and surgery should be starting around 11am. Waiting for that call to say the surgery has been completed and all is well is painstakingly long.
Our call finally came in at 4 o’clock in the afternoon to say she made it out like a champ and she has finally woken up and the silly girl is trying to stand. She’ll be staying the night and only coming home in the afternoon the next day.
Just before closing time we call again to get an update and see how she’s doing. All is well but she is refusing to eat, which was no surprise to us. She’s not a big eater and frequently goes day or two without eating anything but her cookies.
Our vet sent a picture of her when she woke up.
Wishing they had shaved the little strip of hair between last weeks ultrasound shave and todays surgery shave.
