All seems well

It's been twenty-four hours since we took Tasha to the vet's for her ovariectomie. I guess that's the gender-specific medical term for the more general stérilisation, at least that's what they wrote in her medical record. When she got home, we could tell she was happy. And hungry. We gave her a little food, but not too much, per the vet's instructions.

She's licking her stitches a little, but not trying to pull them out. I'll bet she's a little sore and that those stitches probably itch. After a couple of hours she got groggy and slept on and off, then bedtime, and she essentially slept through the night. This morning she's back on her normal diet, with a supplement of an anti-inflammatory drug to relieve post-op pain for a few days. She'll go back to the vet to have her stitches removed in about ten days. Our challenge will be to limit her activity for a while so her little scar can heal.
