I feel like an absolute zombie this morning...

Willow is fine, except she keeps gagging which I know is completely normal and then sometimes she throws up. She did it once last night, but I was on edge so every time she coughed or gagged I would just out of bed. The vet called me twice yesterday to check on her (have I mentioned how much I LOVE my vet) so she knows what is going on.

I have an appointment this morning, and then I'm staying home to keep a watch on her and decorate for Christmas. LORD give me strength and plenty of caffeine!!! Lol :coffee:

All a part of the healing process. Some dogs just don't tolerate the general anesthesia very well. She'll come around, slowly but surely...and be a much better breather. My advice is for you to try to sleep when she does...like we would with a newborn baby.

I feel you! Last year my Boston had a cyst removed...he didn't do well with the drugs. He literally stayed up crying the first night...I think he also couldn't get comfortable with the cone on. Either way, I felt like I was dealing with a newborn baby...I couldn't sleep, I couldn't leave his side without worrying...it was awful! Pretty sure surgery is harder on us then them! Hope Willows appointment goes well today! Your vet sounds fantastic! So nice to have a good vet!

Oh that sounds miserable... I got a cone that was inflatable for my other dogs so they could as least sleep w/that dang thing on. My vet is an absolute angel, she is the BEST!!!

I got one of those on day 3! I didn't know they were a thing! Such a lifesaver!! Except my dog looked like his head was stuck in a doughnut!

I feel you stress Tracey, I hope Willow is getting much better now and yes you do need to take care of yourself too, but I'm sure we would all be doing the same I dont remember worrying so much about my skin kids probably did but that was so long ago i have forgotten.

Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes... you guys keep me somewhat sane!!! Lol

Aww just reading this now Tracey, I'm glad Willow is doing better, and I hope you get some sleep tonight. I'm sure each day she will feel a little better. Hoping she has a quick and easy recovery and has better breathing. Take Care Hun.
