It took a bit longer for her to get the all clear to resume all normal activity than we'd have liked, but the scars have healed so well, you struggle to find them. The only thing we did for a couple of days was pick her up slightly differently (hug round front and back legs) and put a cushion on the floor to make it easier for her to get on the sofa.

The issue with keyhole spaying, we found, was that because there was a minimal wound to heal, Flossie seemed to think she didn't need to stay calm until the internal work had healed (she was only a year old - she'd be a great deal calmer now!
PenW Jul 2023 6:53pm, 26 Jul 2023 3,134 posts	Quote Pin PenW Albie hasn’t been himself all day - he didn’t eat his breakfast (very unusual) and hadn’t touched anything when I came home from work. The dog walker said he was playful on his walk earlier today but subdued before and after. Waiting for a vet call back - supposed to be a same day call back but who knows when they will manage it. It’s quite concerning as as far as I know he’s not taken any food (or water) today. I’m concerned it may be a relapse of his SRMA (steroid responsive meningitis) which he finished his steroids for about 2 months ago. They are such a worry sometimes! He’s just laying and snoozing on his bed.

Still the same this morning so we took him in. He wouldn’t let the vet look either so it’s a sedation for him this afternoon. Vet suspects a grass seed or similar in his paw

PenW Jul 2023 3:15pm, 27 Jul 2023 3,136 posts	Quote Pin PenW Albie is much better today - he’s back on his steroids as it looks like it is a relapse. He’s definitely got his appetite back! Glad I got him seen last night even if it did cost a fortune (thankfully insurance will cover).
