Postponement

Surgery has been postponed. Because of the nausea (from Novox? from eating something unknown? from the after affects of anesthesia?), our regular vet feels it would be too hard on Lucy to go into surgery feeling funky. I agree. Now to set up a new appointment. The anti-inflammatories have been stopped.

She's been given Animax cream for the leg she's been licking at the catheter site for the anesthesia/MRI. A little Bitter Apple on top is to be applied to discourage further licking. Plus she has two new drugs: Sucralfate 1 gm (1/2 tab twice a day) and Famotidine 20 mg (1/2 tab once a day) to take to mellow out her gut. Poor girl. If it ain't one thing, it's another...

With the long recovery and our annual fall bike trip happening in September, the delay, if it's long, could complicate our vacation. I have to verify we can bring her along.
