Are We There Yet?

October 23, 2009

Nope, my dear - six more days!

On October 19, Tessa got spayed. I was dreading the expense and more so the 10-day downtime but it had to be done!

Update 11/10/09: We made it through the 10-day recovery with the help of the crate and the leash, thank God! However, the spay was followed by a corona vaccination which was followed by a really bad case of "dietary indiscretion"/colitis with several days of bloody diarrhea. Tessa is currently on Flagyl and Sulfasalazine, i/d canned food and Pedialyte and is slowly recovering. She has lost 6 lbs which is entirely too much but her appetite is great and we should be back on the normal food by tomorrow.
