Olive went in for her surgery today at 7:30 a.m. I got a call shortly after noon that she was awake and recuperating well. I was able to pick her up an hour early at 3:00 p.m.
She is a bit groggy, her eyes dilated, she is minus two teeth, but she is home and the surgery went well, according to the vet staff. She now has clean white teeth. Some suture of her gums was necessary, but they are the kind that will dissolve on their own so no follow up should be necessary.

| Home from a day at the vet hospital |
She will be on a special diet of soft canned food for a few days. I tried giving her a can which she ate about half of. I was told that she would be a bit tired but would be back to her old self tomorrow. She was anxious to go for a walk as soon as we got home, even before going into the house, and seemed pretty much her usual self during the walk around the outer perimeter of the complex. She even insisted on stopping at the back doors of her favorite neighbors, but alas they were not home.
She is resting right now, and should not require any follow up trip back to the vet. I am simply glad to have her back home.
