Sweetheart is 6 hours post surgery and sleeping peacefully. Her left adrenal gland was slightly enlarged and was removed this morning. Within 2 hours she was eating the Duck Soup I sent with her - which so impressed our vet that she asked for the recipe! Thanks to everyone who sent suggestions - to Marsha Stanek : You were absolutely right about not fasting Sweetheart for more than 6 hours before surgery. Dr. Wiggins recommended feeding her Duck Soup 4 hours before surgery which I did. Sweetheart had no nausea and was bright eyed and ready to go home 4 hours after surgery. She ate 4 oz. of Duck Soup as soon as we got home and then promptly "crawled" up the ramp in the big cage, so I put her in the smaller cage where she curled up in a hammock and fell asleep. Thanks again!!! Janice in Boise [Posted in FML issue 2414]
