Finally.

Finally!  Athena was spayed yesterday.   Along with the spaying we had her micro-chipped. 

She's not a fan of the cone. She can't seem to get the gist of how to move with it on. She had surgery along with her sister, Duchess. Duchess had a fatty tumor removed.  Duchess has figured out how to move around with the cone on, but she despises it with her whole being.  

The clinic had great things to say about both girls and that makes me happy. I love the clinic they go to. The techs, the vets, everything about this place is wonderful.  

So, the great news is: Athena is doing very well and is finally spayed. No more puppies for her.  She's micro-chipped, so she should never be truly lost again!

FINALLY comfortable!

 


I HATE THIS!!!



Athena's Update

Hi. Today marks the 2 month mark that she's been with us. 
 
My only complaints:  she still urinates in the house and she barks...a lot.   Other than that she is absolutely wonderful still.   
 
Her surgery is scheduled for Thursday. Both she and her sister, Duchess, are going in. Duchess needs to have a small benign tumor removed.  So yay to that.
 
As far as the physical issues she had when we adopted her:
Both ears were infected. She had a yeast infection on her back & had a strip of hair gone. It was all scabbed over and white. 



First 5 mins we had her. 4/3



Underneath her she was all black. Her underside & her 'elbows'. She had loose skin where it appeared she was underfed.   Her teets were large & distended, possibly over bred.
 
Some pictures (found in an earlier post) for a reminder:

 So, here she is today. A healthy weight, the scabs gone, the black is slowly fading but it's still there.  Plus she's just happy.

 

Yum! I stole sissy's bone.

 

Filled out.  Nice size girl.
