Chopper came home today. The vet's office was supposed to call me this morning to let me know that status if she could come home or not. I expected to get a call between 9-10, but I didn't. Around 11 I called them, they said yeah shes ready to go, so I ran to pick up my baby. I may complain about the dogs sometimes about the messes they make or because they're always underfoot, but they're my babies just like Jimmy is.
It cost $724 about $100 less then they quoted me - still like I have that kind of money lying around? They took a picture of what they took out, can we say GROSS! A dogs uterus resembles intestines (long & round) because they hold litters; it was much thicker in diameter then it was supposed to be, and was rounded or U shaped - I'm not sure if that's normal or not. On top of the extra thickness the cyst filled the entire center of the circle. I feel so bad for Chopper, that must have been causing her so much pain and for how long???
She hasn't eaten much yet, a little but not a lot, but she is drinking her water and of course sleeping a lot with the anesthia still in her system. I got her outside today to get some fresh air, and it actually gave her a jolt of wind/friskiness so a little of a faster step. She'll have to go back to the vet on Tuesday for a post-op check since her incision was so large. Now, Chopper and Jaws both actually love their vet, but I'm sure she will be none too happy about stepping foot back into that office after this, we'll see : )
