Spay day

Woke 6ish Friday and examined Dainty as she kept licking her foot. Had to cut fur between 2 of her toes and discovered a small hole. Panic. Sorted dogs and got her to vets for an appointment at 10.10. He looked and advised exploratory surgery. I asked him to give a rough price and decided to get her spayed while he was estimating the bill. He then adjusted the estimate when I asked if he could spay her while under for her leg. I stayed while she had her pre-med. It comprised of an anaesthetic, a painkiller and an antibiotic. She squealed the place down when she had the 3rd injection. I said sorry to her and fussed her loads and left a very groggy Dainty about 10.45. Got a taxi back home and waited for phone call from the vet to pick know outcome.
Took Buster out when I got back and Ang went home. Got back and tried to take mind off Dainty by watching TV. After a couple of hours took Buster out again to the Backwaters. Got phone call from vet early afternoon. Both ops went ok and Dainty was awake but very groggy. Ready to pick up 4.30 to 5. Got off phone and ordered a taxi that would let her lie on the back seat for 4.30. Took Buster for another walk and then woke Ang just after 4. She came over about 4.20 to watch Buster while I picked Dainty up.
When she was walked out she was very unsteady on her feet. The bill was over £275 and I asked for some painkillers for her which was extra. Got her out into the waiting taxi and the guy drove us home. Took her straight into the bedroom on her own. Kept checking on her every 10 minutes but she was flaked out. After about 3 hours she wagged her tale at me one time when I went into her. That brought a smile to my face. She wouldn’t drink or eat though which was worrying me. Got an early night at about 10.30.
Woke Saturday at 6ish and got Buster out for a wee. Tried Dainty but she could barely walk today now her painkilling injection had worn off. Spoke to vet about her not eating and agreed to bring her in later that day if no luck. I boiled some chicken breast and when it had cooled put her painkilling liquid on it. She took it off a plate where she was laying. Afterwards she took some water out a shallow dish as well. Ang came over on the afternoon and I took Buster to get her prescription. He enjoyed the walk as he’d only been out on the green. When I got back Ang went home and I carried on looking after Dainty. I spent all Saturday offering her water every hour and taking Buster out on the green. I tried Dainty 4 times during the day but she could barely walk. She ate again on the night-time a mixture of chicken and dog food and mixer. She drank quite well as well. Got an early night again.
Woke Sunday 6ish and took Buster out. Tried Dainty and she tried to walk. After about 5 minutes out with her she had a massive wee at last. First I know she’s had since Friday. Tried her with her breakfast but she turned her nose up at it. Boiled some more chicken and mixed that with it. She took that and the dog-food with her meds under it. Took Buster for a walk to Backwaters. I’m having to give her her antibiotics morning and night but just shove them down her throat. Imperative she has them the same time each day exactly 12 hours apart. She spits out tablets if you put them in food. Watched BBC 1 from 9ish til about 12. Buster will have to wait for another long walk as want a bath and something to eat after doing this post. He’ll have to make do with a wander around the green outside.
