Update on Nikki

My little girl came home this morning :-)

 

She was pretty subdued at the vet's and snuggled up against me whilst we waited for Kelli (who was coming to pick us up) to arrive.

 

Nikki has had all four canines removed, along with an incisor which was sticking straight out of her mouth. She has also had part of her jaw removed at the front, part of her tongue removed and her lip "tidied up". I have to say that the vet at the Boness Vetinary Hospital (in Barton-Le-Clay, Bedfordshire) has done a wonderful job; looking at Nikki now, she just looks as if she has an undershot jaw ~ it's quite amazing!

 

Nikki wolfed (pardon the pun LOL) down half a can of dog food at lunchtime along with a Smacko (?) treat, and has had plenty of drinks of water. She has spent the day stretched out on her bed, getting lots of cuddles, and every so often making those lovely "doggie sigh" sounds :-)

 

It's so good to have my precious girl back home. She has to go back for a check-up on Tuesday, so I will let you know how she gets on.

 

Thank you everyone for all your good wishes, healing and prayers ~ we both appreciate it so much (((hugs)))
