She was feeling a bit tired .... sooo ... I took the opportunity to grab a couple photos.
The vet used dissolving sutures on three layers inside and skin adhesive (supper glue? ... claims it leaves less scar ... the blood is in the glue and will go away when the glue wears off in a week or so) on the outside.
She has to wear a cone of shame for a week or so ... she is very subdued with it on.
She slept really well all night. She's not allowed to be jumping on or off the bed, so, I made her a pallet on the floor and set up her temp dog run around it. She went right to sleep and got a good night sleep. She's eating, drinking and peeing ... hopefully pooping will come soon.
And hopefully not in the house by accident.Originally Posted by FuzzyWuzHe

How’s Kira doing this morning Alan

She is getting more like her own self every day .... only been two, but I can see her getting back to normal. Yesterday just before we headed to bed, she actually did have a bowel movement when I took her out. Wasn't much, but, then she hasn't eaten much since her surgery. For dinner last night she had the normal 1/3 cup. I suspect after breakfast, she'll have a more normal one.How’s Kira doing this morning Alan
Last night I realized that she is walking and navigating way better than her first night home, so, she slept with me in the bed. She started the night at the foot of the bed and shortly after I put the CPAP on, she climbed under the covers, cone and all, and snuggled up to my back. Didn't hear a peep from her until like 5am.
Almost forgot. When going in for her procedure, the first thing they did was weigh her. I was expecting her to be around 13-14# ... sure feels like that when you haul her around .. LOL. Anyway, she was 10.7#, so in just under 5 months, she only gained 4#. I asked the VET about that since I'm not to up on percentile charts ... LOL ... he told me she was absolutely perfect as far as weight and development. He said at this point, 7.5 months old, she probably isn't going to get much bigger, but, will fill out a tad.
All in all, I'm very pleased with how she's doing. I figure in a week, maybe less, she'll be out of the collar and terrorizing me again ... LOL ... she is a handful, but, you just gotta love her.
Sounds good Alan.
She still needs to wear the "Cone of Shame" ... I'm guessing early next week she can shed it. This pic shows just how unhppy she is about that
And just for the record .... that's the same Cone Harley wore when he was fixed.
When Kira and I woke this morning there was something different about her ... hmmm ... instead of a nice blue cone, there was just the black ring around her neck. The rest was torn to shreds under my sheets.
Guess she's had enough of the collar ... LOL ... she hasn't even been the least interested in her incision, so, I'm hoping we don't have issues. She did wear it for 5 days ... and the incision looks really well.
Just watch her as she might start licking the spot during th the healing itch !

Her incision is super glued closed ... my vet said, "Due to her activity level, I opted for three levels of dissolving sutures and the skin closed with ?????". I forfgot what he said, but, when I asked what's that, he said, "Superglue".
He said it's stronger than sutures and waterproof ... still keeping an eye on her ... but so far, so good
Glad she is doing well Alan. Too funny about tearing up a the cone of shame!
"I don't need a map. I still have a road in front of me!"
Yeah, she might start licking and even biting at the incision so just tell her to stop it and threaten her with another cone every time you see her do it. Hopefully she won't but you just never know. And yep, I'd say she was done with the cone.

Kira's Xmas Presant.
Welp, today I finally got mom to help me hold Kira down to measure her so I can get her a Jacket. We have had a great fall, early winter. All of December so far has been high's in the mid to high 30's and lows in the 20's. It's supposed to be like that here until the 1st of the year. That probably means January is gonna be a mother bear.
Anyway, we measured her back, neck, and chest. We also tried on some of the jackets and sweaters I've had for other dogs. Most were too big, and Harley's were too small.
Went to Amazon and based on her measurements, ordered her a jacket that should fit with a tad of grow room.
Should keep the wind off her ... She loves being outside, but, I make her come in long before she wants to. I also ordered her some rawhides, some dream bones and some new toys. I know, I know, I am spoiling her, but, it's her first Christmas, so what the heck. Mom and I don't do Christmas, per sae, but, I am planning a fresh ham on the smoker. Haven't found one yet, so that might end up being a pork b$tt. In any event, Kira and Annabelle will get to open presents ...
My son had one like that for his Boxer.......But it was for thunder storm's it calmed him down cause the big Woof was frighted of thunder..[The Boxer not my Son]...Welp, today I finally got mom to help me hold Kira down to measure her so I can get her a Jacket.

Those are called Thundershirt. I need to get one for one of my dogs. She literally runs and hides anywhere she can when she hears thunder.

Maybe Kira will be calm enough not to attack the storms ...
Looks like one of the really nice winter coats I ordered for the dogs a few years back from either L.L. Bean or LandsEnd.
It does not look like the Thunder Shirts I bought at PetsMart for the Yorkie and Chihuahua. The shirts did not come close to working for either dog....returned them. I hope they worked for other dogs.
New course heading Mr. Sulu: ...2nd star to the right and straight on til morning...!!
Scooter and Sassi....2 furrever.
It seemed to work on my Sons Boxer....But then again he wasn't as high strung as Yorkie'sor Chihuahua's
