We are nearly home from an unplanned trip to Dr. Emerson’s . We’ve been battling non healing wounds with Victoria’s tail and it was progressively getting worse. I felt like it needed to come off but wanted Dr. Emerson’s advice ; and my neuro/malocclusion Doodles also needed a recheck for an early Odontoma that was detected last October. Needless to say, I figured for her it would be just a brief exam/x ray sort of visit. Our appointment was last Friday and Victoria did so well; she looks like a little bunny now. I need to get a pic; this was her before pic:
They called to tell me she was in recovery and Doodles was being checked and that Dr. Emerson recommended extracting her misaligned teeth (that had to be literally trimmed weekly ) and to bring her back Sat am to discuss Odontoma surgery if she did well. I was very hesitant about this but it all came down so fast , and Sat she said the thing (Odontoma) would only get worse and become more difficult to operate , if delayed. So I signed the form and now all her yuck teeth and tumor are gone.
She has a stent I have to remove Tues. Here she is today in my lap on way home :
Right now she’s taking Fox Valley and banana baby food. She drinks well from her water bottle. When we get home I will be trying some of the smoothie recipes Resilie’s Mom was kind enough to share If others have some liquid meal replacement ideas, please let me know. She weighs approximately 600g (probably less now ; just not taking in enough calories ).
I want to thank the members here who were with us every step of the way...Some familiar, others I’ve never met or spoken to before. It was such such a blessing to have knowledgeable (and calming phone calls) to help at such short notice . I was fairly well rattled when I got the call Fri. about Doodles and all that she needed done??! About fell out in Target with a pair of flip flops in my hands !
Anyhow almost home; anxious to get to a blender and get her some real food in her.
