Back from the vet's

Wesha has been spayed this morning. I took her to the vet at 08.30 and she became an injection with something to make her groggy (she is always very excited at the vet's). Within seconds I could see her calming down and after a while she sat and then lay down. After a few minutes she got up, but she could hardly stand. Shortly afterwards, the vet came to get her.

At 11.30, I called the vet and was told that everything went fine, Wesha was waking up, but still very groggy. I could pick her up if I wanted to. Of course I wanted to! So Reto and I went to pick her up. We took an old t-shirt of Lorenzo with us. That way, Wesha doesn't have to wear one of these "lamp shades" to prevent her from licking the wound.

The vet showed us the x-rays that have been made of her hips and elbows. They looked fine, but we have to await the official "verdict". That may take a week or two.

Since we got home, Wesha has been in her crate. She had her eyes open for a long time, but now she is sleeping. I let her wee in the garden a few minutes ago. She walked a few steps and after she relieved herself, I took her back in to sleep some more.


The vet gave us some painkillers and a light antibiotic for the next few days. We will have to keep Wesha on the leash for at least 10 days. No running, walking stairs, jumping or playing. I guess we will do lots of brain training with her, to keep her happy.
