After sterilized - 1st Day

Dana haven't eat from before the surgery till yesterday night. More than 24hrs already! But vet says must make her eat.. and also there's med to eat. So i've got no choice but to cook some porridge and force feed her >.<  But, she's real smart too! Cuz i kept forcing her mouth open to pour a little porridge eat bit by bit, she keep forcing her mouth close. Till a point of time, she just lie down there with 4 legs facing up!! But it's ok, i can take the chance to clean the area.. =D

She started eating herself when I told her "gai gai" in de afternoon. Fed her a treat to try and to my surprise, SHE ATE!! so i tried feeding her more and SHE ATE TOO!! Hahahaha! I was happy like mad!! Faster went down to NTUC and buy more fresh food to cook for her. Wheeee~ As of night time, she's already eating her food. Not full appetite but enough i suppose. Ate all kinds of pork today.. Pork liver, pork belly, minced pork. Also cooked potato, carrot and cabbage for her. Hehehe =D Hope tml she will eat more ^^

Dana sterilize 22 June 2012

Dana went to sterilized at light of life today. Specially booked pet taxi so that she can sit comfortably there and return home. Thx Nick from StarShine_inc Pets for the great service! =D

Silly darling was still so excited while waiting for Nick.

When we reached the clinic, got to fill in form and wait for the vet. Poor darling was so afraid that she climbed up to my lap when we tried to weigh her.. She must have tot that she is still that small little puppy years ago >.<

When we went in, the lady vet chatted w us and understand more about Dana, gave her a checkup to make sure she's fit for sterilization. Got to know from her that she can only know if Dana is totally off heat when they remove the uterus.. But normally 3.5months after her last mensus is safest. Dana's mensus ended in April. But i was afraid that July/ Aug period i will be busy.. So i still went ahead w the procedure...

The vet gave Dana a jab to calm her down so that they can carry her in with ease.. If not she's gg to struggle like mad. Cuz Dana is not comfortable wo me not around =( Waited a few mins after her jab and see she slowly calm down, and lose her focus like a drunken doggie.. Slowly she sit down and we left the room.

 

Went back to fetch her at about 830.The vet walked her out and when i first saw her, i felt so bad already! She wasn't really exactly happy or excited when she saw me.. Still look grouchy. Maybe cuz the GA not totally off yet. But she still could wag a little tail.. Gave her a kiss for being so brave!

Vet wanted to show me the place when they open her up, but she doesn't want to show. Scream a little when we tried to lift up her leg. Must be very painful *haiz*

So i got the vet to still bandage the area up in case it might still sip a little blood. The pressure press on it will reduce the possibility. And cuz she will still be lying down here and there, it kinda protects the area first yeah?

The vet also showed me the uterus that they have removed and explained to me how it works; showed me where the babies will be at, where it is connected etc. and Dana is still in heat! =( So there was a little more blood lost than usual..I'm sorry i'm gg to show smth very bloody...

 

Pampers again!

My mama just help me wear this irritating plastic thing again.. It's pampers! I really hate it a lot... It kept following ard behind me I can't even pee.. I want to take it off!!

Debbie Mummy

Dana's mummy, Debbie had left this world on 2nd March 2012.

Though Debbie always have this deep look on her face, she really have a great smile =) Her smiling face always make us not able to resist ourselves, but try to approach her to give her a hug, a pat or a treat. Yet till this day, Debbie still couldn't really open up to humans... She would take back 3 steps if you take 1 step near her. When uncle wee shared the pictures he had of Debbie when she's out roaming freely before she came to the shelter, the look on her face was what i'm sure we had never seen before in the shelter.

Today, on 2 March 2012, is the day I first touched you, and the last.

When i first put my hand on you, i can still feel the mild warmth on your body.. You look as if you are just sleeping soundly in the white tub..

Only today, i realize how soft your fur is..

Before you left, your body is already cold and stiff.

Dear Debbie,
Because of you, Gentle Paws makes it where they are today..
Because of you, more people can understand that dogs needs their place in this busy city too, and not behind the 4 fences in a far away corner that not many people might notice..

I remember the day when i first saw Dana & Dior & their siblings, is the day i first saw you too. Though i only see you from afar, i can still remember the worried face you had on your face, when Uncle wee and florence brought your babies out to me. Afterall, it was because of them that made you decide to follow Uncle Wee to where you r today, putting a full stop to your freedom. I'm sorry that ultimately, i can only choose 1 and wasn't able to provide a home for the other..
But because of you, I had a wonderful daughter who have made a difference in my life tremendously..

Thank you Debbie for giving us what we had today..

Dana skin problem

I haben been giving updates on Dana here for quite some time.. Cuz hab been updating on Facebook instead. But I'm so sad recently. I bought a new shampoo for her cuz of new year, but guessed it's not suitable for her. So it's giving her a lot of problems now =(

This is the shampoo that i bought =(

She had rashes on some part of her skin, n some wet wound at the shoulder area. Maybe due to excess scratching/ biting. That's not all, she's in pain n shedding a lot of fur now!

I'm sorry darling.. It's all my fault.. T-T just hope that u will get better ASAP...
