Oh, poor dog. She is going to feel a bit poorly for a bit but plenty of TLC from your son should help.

Sadly she didn't make it.  :'(
Collected her from the vets, she was still a bit sleepy and gave her a drink of water when we got home. She died Friday evening, she just went to sleep and didn't wake up.
What a real bad day, all the worry of the anestetic and her getting through the operation and then she just passed away at home which was probably for the best rather than at the vets. My son buried her in her favourite spot.
I've now got over £40's worth of medication that I never used for her. I'm hoping the vet will take back, but will have to wait and see.

Awwww, so sorry Karen.    But at least she was at home, warm and comfortable and just slipped away peacefully in her sleep.    Its so, so hard at times like this but she had a very good long life - all down to you and Barry.  :bouquet:   Sending hugs xx

I rang the vets  when they were open on Saturday morning and they were going to let the vet know and ring me back. I was in the surgery this morning taking the medication back and have still not spoken to a vet.

I know she was under the anaesthetic  a while because the vet rang to let me know that she had no injury just what she thought was cellulitis again after x raying her and then went on to do her teeth.
It was a real shock. I could have understood it happening while she was under, but not several hours later when they have given you the all clear to take her home. I suppose that just adds to our catalogue of disasters for this year.

It may have been internal organ failure or bleeding.  That can happen at any time.  So sorry  :'( . :bouquet: :love:
