Bonnie Update

[lisa_goldstein]

The surgery was yesterday afternoon, and we picked up Bonnie this morning.  She seemed all right, happy to see us, though clumsy and walking with difficulty.  When we got home she had some trouble finding a comfortable spot to sleep and she whimpered anxiously several times, so I tried to give her an anti-anxiety pill wrapped in tuna.  She wouldn’t eat it — very worrying, since usually she’ll eat anything.  (The vet said she seemed interested in the Lab in the dog run next to her, especially when they were feeding him.  I didn’t say anything, but I’m sure it was primarily the food and not the Lab she was interested in.)

Finally she ate the tuna.  It must have been one damn big pill, because she zonked out for a long time.  Now she’s lying on her bed, looking bleary-eyed at everything around her.  Good to know she isn’t in pain, anyway.
