After putting off booking in for Meg’s lump removal and dental, and then pushing it back so we could get a dental month discount, yesterday Meg finally went under the knife.
I forgot how stressful Meg staying at the vet is, and by 12:30 I was relived to see my vets number pop up on my phone and even more relieved to hear everything went well. The surgery went well and Meg only needed one of her front teeth out.
This clinic must have used different pre anaesthetic sedatives or something because Meg was very spaced out last night. Luckily she was still with it enough to have her dinner and even a chicken nugget from McDonalds, but there was lot of wobbly walks, a bit of whimpering and shaking, and a lot of glazed over looks.
The wound is looking better today, but poor lil Meg is still tired and not impressed with annoying stitches. We have her in a shirt to stop her scratching, funnily enough she wouldn’t keep the little dog sock on her back leg.
Fingers crossed her recovery goes smoothly and we get good news back about the lump – the entire process is reminding me of the amputation recovery, but I’m even more worried she’s going to rip the wound right open.
Hopefully that was the last time Meg needs to go into surgery for a while!!
MEG! YOU ARE JUST ABOUT THE CUTEST THING ON THE PLANET! You melt my heart everytime with all your adorableness!!😊 Cute even with glassy glaz3d over eyes😎
She’ll shake off the anesthesia probably by tomorrow. One of my pups had LIGHT SEDATION for an xray and was only jnder a few minutes before the “reversal shot”. He slept for HOURS! Even though he walked out of the Vet’s, he zonked out jn the car and slept in the car for hours! He’d had “light sedation” before without being so zonked.
Really glad you were able to get that lump gone, as well as that bad tooth. At least recovery wilk be relatively short.
Keepnus updated. Sending all sorts of pawsitive energy to precious Meg! Just love this dog!!❤

Thank you! Yes its bizarre which ones effect them and which ones don’t.
After a long weekend it seems like Meg is starting to be Meg again so hopefully everything is fine from now on!
Love to you all!!
Love those big saucer eyes of yours Meg! Yeah they look a little “Wheeee!” like you’re doped up but that’s a good thing right now. Congrats on making it through surgery! That’s such a relief to everyone. Here’s to healthier days ahead!
