  • Post Op Day 6

    Scarlett is doing very well. The sedatives are working wonders for our sleep…yay! She is walking pretty well even though we are really limiting her time out of the cage to just potty breaks outside. She really wants to be out of the cage, so we are taking her out to cuddle for a bit.…

  • Post Op Days 4 and 5

    Scarlett is doing much better. She so badly just wants to act like her old self. So have been having to restrict her. She has never been good at being calm when it is important. On the night of Post Op day 3, I awoke to her climbing onto the couch with me. Since we…

  • Post-Op

He also had to remove 2 teeth he said were infected. I should be brushing…

  • Surgery Today

    We dropped Scarlett off for her surgery this morning. It was so hard to leave her. Her surgery will likely be this afternoon. Hopefully, I will hear from the doctor soon afterward, but we will still have to wait for the pathology report. Thanks to everyone that has wished her well. I appreiciate your concern.…
