My thoughts are with them both Hope things go better from here on .

: ******cross posted*******

: just talked to Des + she asked me to update everyone for her ...

: yesterday the vet put a compression bandage with vet-wrap on Vega$'s belly in an attempt to stop the bleeding ... they are NOT sure if it's just normal post-op seepage or if it is something more serious ... the compression bandage was to take care of "the worst case scenerio" because the only way to tell *for sure* would be more surgery ... Vega$ was NOT supposed to be moving around AT ALL ...

: Vega$ did NOT appreciate her belly being wrapped up tight + even when Des had her wrapped up like a burrito in towel, Vega$ continued to croc-roll + try to get out of the bandage ... Des couldn't leave Vega$ unattended for fear that she'd roll over onto her back + get stuck ... so! Des slept with Vega$ under her arm all nite, or rather DIDN'T sleep ... Vega$ would nod off for maybe an hour and then wake up + croc roll some more + wake Des up who would then try to calm her down + get her back to sleep ... the only way Des could keep Vega$ semi-calm + still today was to cradle Vega$ up against her ... ALLLL day ...

: it's a tough call to decide WHICH is the lesser of the 2 evils: take the compression bandage off + hope Vega$ will calm down or leave the bandage on to hopefully prevent any more bleeding ... but bandaged, she's totally stressed + inconsolable and being THAT stressed and moving as much as she has been isn't good either ...

: so ... the bandage came off just a little bit ago and Des says Vega$ is already looking more relaxed + isn't arching her back the way she has been the last 2 days ... hopefully, she'll relax enough to gooooooooo to sleeeeeeeeeeeeep! her + Des are BOTH exhausted!

: Vega$ has an appt with the vet tomorrow morning at 10 + they will do more blood tests to check her packed cell level ... her regular vet is back in the office tomorrow too ...

: Des wants everyone to know that she appreciates everyone's caring + concern + good thoughts ...

: Bon.
