As mentioned yesterday, our sweet little rat terrier, Tansy, lost some key reproductive plumbing as well as 4 teeth. Rough day, although today is probably rougher. To protect the incision, she is required to wear a 'satellite dish' device. I think the humiliation of the attire is giving her a harder time than the aftermath of anesthesia and surgery:

Embarrassed Tansy

She just stands in one spot with her head angled down and shakes. We put her to bed last night and checked on her an hour later and she was still just standing in her bed, shaking. She had not moved an inch.

At this moment she is standing underneath my chair. She won't walk anywhere or do anything. When I take the collar off, she gets downright frisky. Unfortunately she also starts chewing on her stitches.

It breaks your heart to watch her mope around. It is definitely going to be a long week.
