Good and Bad News

Good news! Sensation has returned in her right foot. When you pinch it or touch it, she looks back to check out what you're doing. Yay!

Resting with momma :)


Maggie had a check-up visit today with Dr. Henderson. We informed him that her appetite has diminished to close to nothing, and she is still having loose stools with mucus in them. He checked her out and did another X-Ray. He said her loose bowel movements are to blame on the medicine, Previcox. He noticed her tummy is still pretty big and the attention immediately turned to that. He palpated her stomach for a bit and told us she has an abdominal hernia, and will need surgery tomorrow morning. Her belly is so big because that is her intestines. This is why she has no appetite. We are keeping her tonight and she will be able to come home after the surgery tomorrow. He told us the surgery is common and nothing to stress about. I hope so. Wish us luck!

This is her belly. Its a lot bigger on the right side than the left.
