update from the infirmary


So , it's been a long, long day!
poppy survived the vets, is now spayed and groggy, but home.
Was managing to convince myself it was the right thing to do and she started whimpering.....

Really don't think she was in pain, it was , a , I can't settle and don't know what to do with myself sort of thing...
She did this for ages, settled and then started again when Andrew came home.
She is now fast asleep...in her t-shirt!
The horrid lampshade collars just seem to drive them crazy!
I used a t-shirt when my beloved Tilly had abdo surgery and was driven nuts by the lampshade.
It knots at either side of her tail, and can be undone so she can pee....
I think I should look into this as a concept for dog post operatios!

this one is a Scottish festival t-shirt....Tilly's was one of mine that said TOO HOT TO HANDLE!!!


Anyway, I am happier now she is home and now she is settled.

Am away to go look at all your posts while Andrew keep watch on the sleeping girl !

it was the right thing to do. I am a firm believer in spaying or neutering pets, too many pets with out homes as it is to bring more into the world.

the t-shirt is a great idea! Our old lab hated the lampshade too so we took it off and just made sure we watched him for the first few days (even though he was pretty groggy from the meds to do more than drink and go back to sleep for a few days)
