Another surgery…..

This has been an eventful week. Nora went in for her spay surgery this Monday and we were reminded that no surgery is ever ‘routine’. We weren’t even nervous, as she had made is so brilliantly through her amputation and recovery. Mid day we got an update call from our vet – there had been complications during Nora’s spay!!! Nora was ok, but due to excessive bleeding from a dropped ovarian pedicle, our vet recommended we transfer her to an ER vet overnight for observation.
We picked Nora up around 6pm, after she had been watched closely post surgery at our regular vet’s office. She was groggy but up and walking. We immediately transported her to Animal Medical Center where she would be monitored overnight.
Thankfully, Nora made it through the night without any further bleeding or complications. We’re still glad we took the extra precaution of having her monitored overnight. Better safe than sorry!!

Nora is now back home and back to being her normal silly and playful self.

The first photo is Nora being comforted by her brother, George, immediately after arriving home from AMC. The second is Nora the next morning – literally having more fun than a barrel full of monkeys!
