Ok, home with Tash still.

Ok, home with Tash still. She can get around a little bit, even better with help. She got off the couch and pooped a little earlier, but hasn't peed in over 24 hours, despite drinking plenty.  I'm getting pretty worried.  Feel like expressing her bladder isn't the answer - if something is wrong, that doesn't exactly fix it.  Any suggestions?

I've slept off and on since about 10...

I've slept off and on since about 10, and so has Tasha.  She hasn't peed since about 6 pm yesterday, but she's been drinking.  I'm sure she has to go, but she could barely hold a squat yesterday so I think she's just holding it.  She's grunting and crying right now, and I can't tell what she wants to do.  She weighs almost as much as me so I can't just pick her up.  Not sure what to do.  🙁

Tash is home and doing ok.

Tash is home and doing ok.  It is going to be a looong weekend, though.  I couldn't get her out of the car by myself and she can barely stand from sitting or lying down.  She just needs a little help with the back end.  When she walks, she does put some pressure on that back leg, but she hobbles around so I feel like it still hurts.  🙁

After I gave her some pain meds, she napped.  But she's mostly restless and uncomfortable, maybe in outright pain still.  I feel terrible for her.  I also had her ears plucked while she was under so she's shaking her head a lot, but I guess that's keeping her from being able to chew at her stitches, so...

Anyway, I'm sleeping on the couch in the room with her tonight... who knows, maybe all weekend.  She's eating and drinking (as long as I bring it right to her 😂) so that's much better than how things went with her spay.  She wouldn't even eat or drink when I offered food or water to her after that.

So far, it looks like I'm sticking close to home this weekend, but that's ok with me because I want to be here for my girl. ❤ So if you need me, you know where to find me!

Nappy after her first hip surgery.  She is not a happy camper right now, but I think the couch service will make it a little better.  I hope!

I called and checked on Nappy...

I called and checked on Nappy; she seems to be doing fine.  I'll know when I can bring her home after 10:30.  So, I guess I'm gonna head to work and check back later.

Well... I don't know anything specific...

Well... I don't know anything specific about how things went with my Nappy girl today.  🙁  I called the vet a couple of times and they were only just prepping her for surgery around 4:00.  They said that they would not be done until after hours and that if I didn't hear from them, that was good news.  I haven't heard anything yet, so... I'm guessing she's ok.  I'd really feel better if I could hear it, though.  I am not mad - the vet's office was slammed today - even early this morning, and they said that an Alpaca needing a blood transfusion came in and held them up even more.  I totally understand, but I'm gonna be on edge until I talk to them in the morning.  So... this is what it is.  😐

Well, I'm heading out with Nappy.

Well, I'm heading out with Nappy. I don't know if I'm ready! 🙁 I'm so nervous!

First fancy nails I've done in a while.

First fancy nails I've done in a while. Can't tell because the snowflake one is iridescent, but it actually matches the polish pretty well. 🙂 I'm tired and have a hard day tomorrow, so I'll deal with the edge clean-up later. ❤
