We took Lilly to the vet this morning to get her fixed. We figured she would be tired and a bit rundown but I don't think we all expected her to be quite as pitiful as she was. We picked her up around 4:30pm. She was still very noxious. As a matter of fact...we're glad the anaesthesia made her sick a bit. Earlier this week she swallowed a sock of Kaden's. She pulled it right off his foot and ran under the table. Kaleb was trying to get it from her when...GULP...she swallowed it down. We'd been...uhhh...watching for it to appear again but never saw it. Granted, there were times when it was dark out or the boys took her out that I couldn't be sure it didn't pass but we never saw it. She had been eating and using the bathroom quite normally so we figured it must be OK. We called the vet and explained it to them and they figured she had passed it and was fine.
So we go to pick her up today and they inform us that after her surgery she had gotten sick and out came the sock. Thank goodness because it had probably been sitting in her stomach and hadn't tried to go into the intestines yet. I think we're pretty lucky that she happened to be getting fixed on this very day...not telling what would have happened if it had started into her intestines and gotten caught.
Back to Lilly's condition...they brought her out and you could just tell she was not at all comfortable. We took her home and she headed straight for her kennel. I guess she knew where she'd be most comfortable! We went out to dinner and this is what we found when we got home and opened up her kennel door. She was not budging! She stayed here about 5 minutes then she finally ventured out. She just snuggled with us on the couch and slept with Kaden overnight.
