Happy Fursday! Sending out many vines to all in need and glad to see Trixie's BG back down after the kibble raid. A girl just gotta have fun, mum!
Gracie is doing really, really well today. She's peeing and pooing perfectly and eating has been spot on. Yesterday after we got her home, she was just focused on eating. Bless her sweet LBG heart, she really wanted to sleep but just wouldn't let herself get into a good nap. She would sit on the counter and look like she was about to nod off but she had to be near the food just in case! We were doling it out slowly and in small amounts until we knew she was going to not have any issues with it. Because I shot an hour early last night, we all went to bed early and she finally conked out. And I do mean soundly. In fact, at one point, I couldn't tell if she was breathing so I got my iPhone flashlight and checked on her. She was fine but sound asleep. Poor baby girl. Rough day yesterday......for us all. It's very funny, though, how she and Tobey both react to bupe. They are normally both very lovey and purry but they are just over the top purry and rubbing their heads all over everything with the bupe.
I think last night's numbers were almost as high as she's ever been on lev but we talked about it and decided giving her R was not a good idea. We felt it was important to get a cycle of eating normally behind her before we started trying to get the numbers back down. We also thought she needed the sleep since she was awake all day yesterday except the 75 minutes or so under anesthesia. Even though she never opens her eyes when I poke her at night, I know it has to awaken her some. I think our decision last night was a good one and I felt better about giving her a tiny bit of R this morning.
Since I was off yesterday, I'm working from home today and tomorrow. Mike is on his way to KY for our granddaughter's first birthday on Valentine's Day. While I wish it would have worked out for me to go, it was a good decision to stay and take care of our baby girl here since she had the extraction.
Once again, you all will never ever know how much your prayers and post meant to us. Thank you, @rhiannon and shadow, @Tiger and Ruth, @Sandy and Black Kitty, @Marycatmom, and @Martha for your posts last night after we went to bed. Oh..and Martha....although it is a LL classic, here is a picture of Gracie's stinkeye:
My "special look" for dat vetty wif the drugs and her helpers.
