Day 340

Before...On the Couch
After...On the Couch
It was so difficult to motivate to take Dixie in for her eye removal.  I waited until the last minute to leave.  

I understand that she was in pain with the pressure in her eye causing a constant headache and she had lost vision in that eye.  But when you take in a silly Dixie and pick up a miserable Dixie...it breaks my heart.

I don't think I was warned about how much pain she would be in and how difficult this patient would be.  Dixie has not been drinking water but finally took a few licks of an ice cube.  She has eaten very little...only one bite of a hot dog!  And, getting medicine in here is nearly impossible.  

Not only is her "eye" all swollen but her entire face is sore.  She yelps when we open her mouth for medicine.  But, all along the tail still wags.  

Oh, how I love this little girl!
