I've been meaning to post about Tilly's lipfold op since she had it done just over two weeks ago.
Like Pammy just said - she is a different dog
- honestly its like having a 2 yr old dog instead of a nearly 8 yr old. She is bombing around like a loony - has stopped rubbing her face all the time, and is no longer scratching at it like mad...
I stayed with her for the pre-med, then they took her in straight away, did the op and I picked her up about 5 hours later - with lampshade.... to be honest that was the most upsetting part about it all - she was very very disturbed by having to wear it, especially for the first 48 hrs....
She had dissolvable stitches on both sides of her mouth, two weeks on they are still slightly there.... she wore the lampshade for 7 days apart from when I took her out for walks (on lead) then I took it off as she got out the car, and put it back on when she got back in the car.... I had to obviously be very vigilant that she didn't dive onto the ground to rub her face - she did try that a few times !!!
I wish I had done it sooner - her eyes are brighter, there are no more bloodshot rims, she looks younger, and she is generally just so much happier.
