Emma

We brought Emma home around 6:30 this evening.  She's still pretty out of it.  Her procedure ended up being a bit more complicated and invasive than they thought and they also found an abscess in her right ear which accounts for the lingering head tilt.  She's on three meds right now and has to be syringe fed a special mixture. Her belly is all shaved and the poor thing looks like she's been gutted.  The vet said that with a regular spaying, she would've perked up by now but because she had so much done to her plus the underlying abscess, she's going to take longer to bounce back.  Right now she's a mess--can't stand or walk, won't eat--and I'm doing my best to stay optimistic. 

Oh, and all the extra things they had to do ended up doubling the cost.  I may need to get a job just to pay off the vet bill.    I'll post more when there's something to report.
