After Ops - Day 3

15 Dec 2008

For 3 wks, I will take very much longer than usual to clean Gi up after dinner. Esp when she's not allowed to shower during this time. So in order for her not to stench, I hv to blow dry her. And dust her with some grooming powder. Altho the powder is making it easy to comb her coat, I dun like the sticky feel of it. So I'll switch to the J&J Aloe Vera & Vit E Powder to see how it goes.

On top of applying powdered antibiotics on her wounds, I also hv to apply ear drops. Her ears have an on-off affair with Mr. Ear-Infection. Speaking of her wounds, she has some stitches on her belly. With me being a scaredy-cat and not wanting to touch the stitches, I hv to use the mirror in order to apply on the right spot.

And with her teeth scaling, I hv to be diligent to brush her teeth. Cos now her teeth are pearly white and her breadth is "fresh".

As today's the 1st time I'm cleaning her up after the ops, I had to use exceptionally more tissues to do a good job. Esp with the pus accumulating at her vagina & the massive discharge from her ears. Yes, I will be bringing her back to the vet this Friday re the vagina discharge. Haiz!

Nevertheless, she's much more alert than the last two days. Yet she's having an anxiety attack close to bedtime. That explains the massive eye discharge (aka tears of anxiety). I suspect the e-collar is mixing up her sense of direction. Thus she'll be sleeping in my bedroom until further notice. I can hear her e-collar banging against the cabinets & all as I type this. Thankfully, she is still able to find her way to her toilet area. O'wise the Empress Dowager & I will be busy cleaning after her.

After her stitches are removed and her wounds have recovered, I'll be trimming her to a puppy cut ... or just shave her down completely.
