Spay Update

It's been a week now that Tula had her surgery, and we've had the E collar on her for a few days. It helps a bit with her licking herself, but every now and then, I will catch Josie licking the incision for her. Not good! I swear, if it's not one dog, it's the other one that will drive me to the looney bin. So, we took her in to see the vet, so they can take a look at it, since she's pulled 3 stitches out herself, and the vet said it actually looked great, and she was a quick healer. Excellent news, since I'm paranoid. I hate waiting for open wounds to heal, brings me back to when Josie was attacked and she had this tube that looked like a little rigatoni (there is that food reference again) sticking out of her, and draining the pus and blood. I am so happy that we have hardwood floor, on so many levels. A day or 2 goes by, and now one of the stitches is puffy and hard. So we decided to take her in this morning. The vet actually pulled the rest of the stitches out (the stitches looked nasty, more so than the actual incision). Now the whole area looks a ton better already. She is on some antibiotics, but we've given her benedryl, which is supposed to make them a bit drowsy. Nope, not this puppy. She's on some tranquilizers now. What did she do? She ran laps around the condo halls. Unbelievable! But she is the best nighttime cuddler in the world, and she takes her turn with cuddling with either me or Anthony. It reminds us why we are so happy to have her around. We'd cuddle with Josie, but she prefers to sleep on her own. Oh well.
