Hi Helen,
Have just updated Pearl's story which I hope will help with tomorrow. Pearl is so much happier now. She does occasionally try to scoot but I think it's more for attention
A difficult 3 days for me after the operation and I'm sure uncomfortable for Pearl but really worth it for the way she is now...
For once I opted not to have a phone call after the procedure - the Vet offered to call if there was a problem otherwise just collect her at 6pm. I found it much easier than waiting for that call and imagining all sorts [as we do
] I knew she was in at 10 and it would be a long procedure so as soon as 2pm went I past I relaxed- spent the day at work and was really quite productive for once
Hope all goes well tomorrow for Bailey - don't be too shocked with his bare bottom - the fur does grow back and by 1st March, at her next grooming session Pearl's will need to be trimmed
Oh! and her bottom did get more and more red as the evening wore on - it worried me enough to call the out of hours Vet but they reassured me it was totally normal and had reduced a great deal by the following morning.
The Partner at the Practice, who completed the procedure assured me that it is a very common procedure, that techniques have improved hugely in the last few years and that he had never known one go wrong - all helped with the decision though I was still jittery enough to seek reassurance on here...
