Jazzi is picking up Holly at 3pm Art.
No, my vet doesn’t Julie.
But neither does he stitch anymore either, he glues the wound instead.
Anyway, they will give Jazzi all instructions to follow when she collects Holly, so it matters not what we say really.
That’s interesting I think mine went on a course about ten years ago to learn about keyhole surgery he’s been doing a lot that way since that time. That’s something I love about him he constantly learns and goes back to school to make sure he’s as up on new methods as he can be. Nothing wrong with old school vets but things have moved fast making many ops easier on their bodies.
I was quite pleased with the gluing of Gertie.
No stitches to get uncomfrtable and tight as she healed, no stitches to have removed later, and no gaps between any stitches for infections to gain access - completely sealed.
I think there are either 11 or 12 vets at my veterinary ‘hospital’ all specialising in different procedures and different animals, but I prefer to stick with the one I know best. I would trust him with my life - keyhole or not. 
Hi
You thinking of getting spayed then Mups?
No dear, but I’ve booked you in for a quick op. 
Can blokes get spayed??? 
I didn’t mean spayed ruthio - I meant the male version.
So what do they use then Mups? A glue gun?
I don’t think Swims would stand still long enough for that.
Don’t forget he’ll be sedated Mort.
Anyway, I’d best go else I shall be told off for going off topic.
Apologies Jazzi.
We could practise sedating him, I like that idea :twisted::twisted:
Laughing at y’all. I can relax and lighten up a bit. For now, anyhoo.
Ok, she’s home and in her cardboard box bed in the bedroom. Groaning a fair bit, but we have painkillers to start tomorrow. I’ve closed the curtain and left her in the dark, so she can rest. Will keep popping in to check on her.
A nice neat wound, no outside stitches, as predicted. Tried to pick her up when in between the car and home (a tiny walk) but she struggled a bit, and was in pain, so I let her take her time. She kept bashing into walls and doors with the cone, so we have ten days of that, but we went ever so slowly.
Back to the vets Friday, and again after about a week, for check up.
Thanks again for your comments, and I’m glad this part is over, but I’m under no illusion it will still be an easy ride!
They usually get used to the cone fairly fast jazzi, three of mine used them to carry toys around after the initial wondering if they could for through a door stage.
Susie, Thank You! 
Silly me, didn’t read the earlier posts!!
It was most likely because she was still a bit wobbly from the GA.
Phew! Thank gawd for that, I was bracing myself!!!
Seriously, so glad all is well with Holly and hope she makes full and fast recovery.
Hi Jazzi…so happy for you and Holly. 
She’s out of her bed, was wandering about a bit, or standing still, grunting and groaning, but a quick phone call to the vet has assured me it is perfectly normal. Told she is not in pain, just disoriented from the GA. she last had pain relief injection at 2pm.
Now in the living room with me.
So glad Holly is home with you Jazzi, don’t worry about her groaning that’s quite natural and she will get used to the Cone.
Thinking of your both. Love S xx
Thanks Susie.
She has actually had some food, wanted more I think, but I restricted it to a small amount, but she hasn’t drunk yet. I keep offering a tiny bowl into her cone, and have taken away the dish that is attached to the side of the run, leaving out a large SS dish for her to drink from. ATM she is lying on the bedroom carpet which was cleaned, but I was worried it’d still be damp. I think it’s ok but have put down a thin blanket. I’ll let her find her own positions.
