Please keep Daisy in your thoughts today...
This is Daisy's Mommie reporting. Daisy went back to see the doctor today to make sure the special prescription diet was working to dissolve her bladder stones. Unfortunately, it did not help. So she is currently still at the vet's office awaiting surgery today. She will have an incision in her abdomen, and they will go into her bladder to remove the stones. After that she will have to remain on a special Ph neutral diet for the rest of her life. Her surgery is scheduled for about 1:00 EST. She will get to go home late tomorrow afternoon. The doctor will call me after she is out of surgery to report on how Daisy is doing.I feel terrible, because I told Daisy she was just going in for an X-ray! I had no idea she would be having surgery this afternoon. Daisy tried to act brave, and put on her scowly face, but she was shaking and her paws were all sweaty. She didn't even get to go out in her stroller today. The house is very, very quiet without the little curly clown running around here. I will post an update later.
ps: Please take a look at Pixie's post for today, below. She was very proud that she got to do her very own post since Daisy was not able to today.
UPDATE:
I just got a call from the vet. The surgery went well! Daisy is in recovery, and is still very groggy. The x-rays showed that all of the stones were removed. She will remain on fluids for the rest of the day, and if she is still doing okay, she can go home tomorrow at about 2:00 EST. Thanks for all of your good wishes!
Another UPDATE:
The doctor called again. She said that Daisy is doing fine, but is not happy about being in the hospital, and is hiding underneath her blanket. When they put her back on top of her blanket, she crawls back under again. She will go home tomorrow afternoon with antibiotics and pain medication. That's my Daisy!
