I left a msg at 7:30 that I was coming back. When I got there, Dr. Munn came down and we looked at her and talked in the exam room. At first he wanted to up her buprenorphine, but after some discussion I got him to realize that she has excessive Pica behaviour on it, so we are going to use a more sedative injectable pain med (hydro-morphine?). Dr. Munn took her right back, was going to debride more of the tissues, close her up, freeze the location really really well, and attempt to make a ratty jacket to stop her from being able to reach the incision. then was going to observe her carefully all day long.

Btw the picture doesn't do it justice...it was like an anatomy lession under the skin. :emb:

I literally woke up, checked her, threw on clothes, threw her in the carrier (after taking and posting a pic LOL) with no coffee, and only the heart med rats got their meds.

Now I am gulping down coffee, with a wicked headache to boot from the storm about to roll in. Waiting for Terril to come in so I can run out and grab a bagel or something since I couldn't eat last night.

Oh my goodness. You must have had a heart attack right then and there... running on adrenaline after that.
I sure hope she leaves it alone now.

 

Scary ..poor girl ..shes lucky to have you

 

[mamarat]

OMG! Poor you, poor Inca.

 

[Dazzle87]

OMG! Poor Inca, and poor you! I hope she does better on this other drug.

 

[crumbilina]

Inca Inca Inca!
No picking!!!

Geeze, that is brutal! Bet you got a pretty sweet anatomy lesson though!

Squeezing out of a vet wrap? lol!

 

[Godmother]

OMG, how awful. I am so glad that you were able to get her in for repairs & observation. Hope you got some food, too!

 

[Joanne]

Aye carumba! Bad Inca! Bad girl!
Geez, I'm so glad that this was done on a Monday. At least Dr. Munn knows when you call that you really DO need help!

I only looked at the pic in passing, it made me squirm too much. Poor girl. Poor you.

Called for an update. The incision was actually bigger than yesterday, she chewed through healthy muscle...sigh. She has been given Torbugesic this time which is an opiate but is less likely to cause pica behaviour than the buprenorphine. Its also more of a sedative. They put a longer/larger E-collar on her as well. So far she's still very groggy and just starting to wake up a little and wander around her cage. My poor lady, she's had 4 surgeries in a relatively short time...leg removal, removal of part of her ear, and now spay/tumour removal, and then the repair surgery. :undecided:

 

[victoria]

Will she stay hospitalized for a few days?

 

[lilspaz68]

coming home tonight.

 

[Roo]

oh my goodness! So lucky that she has you. :hugs:

Like what eagle said. A bit of curry will go a long way to making you feel better. Kisses and pats to Inca, and please tell her I said,
