Sweetpea's sterilization day

Our dear Sweetpea is home after being spayed and sore and drowsy and not even hungry for her favourite treats, but her wound looks beautifully done and she has pain pills for nighttime for four nights to help her sleep until she's recovered sufficiently.

My youngest son went with me early am, while he was off-duty to take Sweetpea to the animal hospital, and one of my dearest friends and greatest supports in the whole wide world came with me pm to fetch her from the vet and bring her home for which I am truly grateful.

Both Trixie and Sweetpea had their nails cut, chips put in and both were vaccinated. Sweetpea has to go back in two weeks I think they said, for more vaccinations, because she was never vaccinated by the shelter for abused animals before we received her, (a most wonderful, fun-filled, loving gift from our dear friend, Antoinette), so, more expenses... but important and necessary. 

Sweetpea also had her dew claws (not removed), but the nails cut very short under anesthetic. she had everything done under anesthetic thank goodness, including her spare tooth removed. Poor baby must be hurting all over!

I will give her the pain pill a little later tonight to help her to sleep pain-free and well... hopefully.

I forgot to ask how much the bill was... EEEK! I will have to call and ask tomorrow!  I did tell them as I was walking out, that I'd pay the entire bill by the end of March, and in the meantime, we are praying that donations will cover some of the bill to help us. 

Trixie looks like she is doing fine.  She was well behaved at the vet.  Not too happy about her manicure though, but I'm sure she will be glad it's done now.  

We are so grateful for any donation-help, no matter how small, it will make a huge difference.  

Thank you for sharing with me and for any prayers said for Sweetpea to help her through this. 

Bless you and bless Sweetpea.
