ebonlockAnother Kage update, I'm afraid. I'm going to be a bit single-minded for a bit, sorry. Anyway we had a bit of an issue last night involving a full bladder and Kage's confusion about just where she should empty it. She started on my bed, continued to pee in her own bed (?) and then realized there was a litter box, but collapsed just inside it. I talked to the vet tech about it today and she confirmed it was probably a) too many drugs and b) all the fluids she's been receiving over the past few days.
Anyway I cleaned up what I could last night and ended up sleeping curled up at the top of the bed to avoid the wet spot at the foot of the bed. I settled her onto a towel on the papasan cushion and she slept straight through the night (though I didn't, popping my head up to check on her every time she changed position). She's eaten twice already and Aelf even got her to drink some water earlier. I ran to the pet store and bought her a new heated blanket since she soaked her former bed through the cover and foam, I also picked up some puppy training pads just in case we have another accident tonight.
After relaxing all night and most of the day on the papasan I just went back and checked on her and she was right up on the bed again. There was some sunshine coming through the window right there and she looked happy as a clam. I really could not be more impressed with her handling of this surgery. She's just the most amazing animal, she really is.
I should also say that Pye is handling things *very* well. All the hard learned lessons from the last surgery have come in amazingly handy this time around. There's no aggression or inappropriate yowling/urinating. He has, in fact, been astonishingly good. I think it also helped that I took today off and could let him go outside for a bit. That let me open the bedroom door so Kage could see the outside too and get some fresh air. It calmed Pye down and perked Kage up, a total win-win.
And after two more insane requests from the lender (which I took care of earlier) the broker assures me we'll be official on Monday. For sure this time. *sigh*
