Post From Lexi's Mom

Lexi had an operation yesterday (she got spayed) and she is not too comfortable today. When she got home last night from the Vet she would not eat or drink anything...I could not even give her the pain pill. The Vet said she had to wear the cone for 14 days but I think that is a little too long.........we will see how she does. This cone is a nice soft one not like the hard ones our other dog had to have. She woke up today with a big appetite. Her Vet said to feed her a soft diet for a few days (chicken and rice)........oh she is in heaven with that. I hope she will go back to eating dog food.
She was trying to take the cone off...I guess she had enough of it.
She is resting a lot today like she is supposed too. She has jumped on the sofa a few times when we were not looking. She doesn't want to sleep there ( I would let her) just sit for a few minutes and then jump down. She has a nice comfy bed but seems to prefer the ground.
She looks so sad with her little cone on. Don't they make pink cones? We like pink.

  1. Aww - poor Lexi. You do look so sad... Don't know if the pink cone of shame would make you feel any better, though. Buck up little camper, it'll be OK!!

    You will be feeling as good before you know it and I bet you won't have to wear that cone for that long.

  7. Hi Lexi,

    So sorry you have to wear that crazy thing. 14 days seems like a very long time too! I had wire stitches, do you? I think that is why I didn't have to wear a cone.

  8. Not the Cone of Shame! Hope you can take it off soon, Lexi, and that you're feeling better with each passing hour. 14 days?! Is that vet nuts?! I didn't even have a cone...so weird how humans have such different ideas on what we doggies need. But I didn't get a special diet like you...yours sounds *much* better!
    Rest up, sweet girl.

  15. Hey Lexi,
    You mom and dad are being responsible pet owners. By being spayed you will help reduce the number of homeless pups. We hope that you are feeling much better now and that you are getting back into your old normal routine.
