Opal has been through a rough weekend recovering from surgery to remove her anal glands.
Being so tiny she was experiencing more & more pain with having them expressed. And her little glands just weren't getting rid of their fluid without assistance. This can be a genetic mechanical problem for toy small sized dogs which is what sadly was the case for Opal.
Her first day home from surgery on Friday she was groggy, wobbly & clearly upset with feeling off from all the meds but she still managed to eat a little home made roo mix.
Day 2 she was still unsteady but more alert & got her full appetite back & wanting tickles.
Day 3 she was more alert but the heat outside was affecting her and the pain patch meds had caused her to become constipated which made for a distressing night. So next morning Day 4 we called in at the Vet who had to give her laxative and removed the pain patch of course. They gave us a topical anaesthetic gel to use instead of the pain patch.
Therafter & Day 5 she gradually became more steady & happy but also more sensitive trying to lick herself & scoot. Today Day 6 she's been amazing back to her personality & begging to go outside for walkies & generally more relaxed.
A little excitement this morning at our house. Guess who's visiting? 👀 tweet tweet 🐦
Opal loves fetching too ! Especially at the beach ⛱️
Happy pride fun to our east coast friends & happy beach day to our West coast friends 😀
Here's the highlights of that beach shoot with bobandpam@ka9photo. If we'd known we would have had a blowout first. Wet & sandy looks are still cute though #puppiesofaustralia #cavapoopuppies #cavoodles
They've each got the same chew toy but it's more fun to battle over the one
