Sending prayers for an uneventful surgery and recovery. I was amazed at how much better Frazzle sounded and felt after his LP surgery.

I just got to work from dropping Chancy at the vet. I wanted to wait while she was there, but it'll likely be several hours, and I might as well try to get some work done.

 

Here's a pic I took with my phone, right before we got out of the car at the vet's office.

She was bright-eyed, and had been very excited to go for a surprise car ride. :yay: I hope to offer her many more fun car rides soon...

The vet just called. He said "Hi Aimee, how are you doing?"

 

I paused and sort of began to stutter something...

 

He said "Wait, let me tell you how you're doing... Chancy's doing great."

 

I thought I was going to fall over with relief. :)

 

Chancy's awake and breathing easier already. :yay: She's alert and sphynxing in her kennel, but hasn't tried to stand yet. The surgery went well. He said both sides of her larynx were completely paralyzed, allowing only about 15% of normal airflow through. Kind of amazing she was even staying conscious! They tied the left side back, and also removed a small irritating growth on one of her toes (I figured as long as she's under...). He said she came out of the anesthesia even better than some otherwise healthy dogs. They'll give her another hour or so before they try to coax her to stand and walk. So I should be able to go get her in a couple hours.

 

The hardest part is over. Now I just have to worry about post-surgical complications: infection, pneumonia...

 

But she's awake!!! :D
