Bella

Yesterday morning I took Bella into Dr. Parks (veterinarian) to get her teeth cleaned (little dogs have a tendacy to have dental problems so I wanted to stay on top of it) & they had to put her under anesthesia to do it. Apparently they don't have any other options so since they were already putting her under we had a growing concern with her du-claws that weren't removed when she was a puppy. They were getting sensitive to her & were growing all the way around & back into her leg again so since she wasn't letting me trim them because of the sensitivity I asked for them to be removed during her teeth cleaning session since she would already be under. It was a really long day. It was so hard for me to have her there, she get's very nervous anytime I take her to the Doctors or Groomer. The front du-claws are thicker & more sensitive to the dog to get removed. It's kind-of hard on them to have this procedure when they are older that's why they usually do it when they are puppies, but I knew it was necessary. They said she would be released at 4 pm but I had to check up on her during the day, I was going crazy worrying about her so I called at 2 pm & they said surgery went well & she was already sitting up looking around (so she had already come out of the anesthesia, yay!!) I told them I would be their early to pick her up & they consented. She was soooo happy to see me & I was soooo relieved to finally get to be holding her. She has a week of recovery time before she's fully back to normal, & then after 10 days she'll get her sutures removed. I am sooo sooo glad it is behind us & she will only be getting better from here on out. She woke up looking sore so I gave her a dose of her pain medication & she looked so much better. She started walking around & pulled both her back leg bandages off. She kept jumping up & down off of the sofa. She has her spark back in her eye. She's even barking at everything again like she own's the house. I Love You So Much Bella (xoxo) & am soooo thankful you made it through your procedure safely & are recovering so well!! Thank you Dr. Park, I can always trust that you will do a good job!
