Sierra's lab work and exam

Steohanie- I might be too early in asking, but how did it go today? I have been thinking about you and your sweet Sierra

I was wondering the same, bless her

You guys are so great! Sierra decided she would most prefer to spend the day with Dr. Jordon. They had to fully sedate her because Sierra wouldn't allow them touch anywhere around her neck. Oddly enough, she let them get a urine sample without any difficulty. The good news is while she's sedated she is also getting her teeth cleaned which we were planning to do later anyway. This will save her a visit and further stress. I can't go get her until 5 . I have been busying myself. Went to the store to pick up groceries and have just brought them home to put them away, but immediately came her to tell you guys the update. Thank you so much for checking in and for caring so much! This is turning into a very long 8 hours.

Stephanie-
Everything is going to be ok The time will fly. Hang out here check all the new pm's, admire Sierra's pic on the Marley Fund site, or go buy her a special treat and before you know it, it will be 5:00. We only have 3 hours and 13 minutes before it's time to hear how it went with her

You're so sweet, Tanya!

only 2 more hours, and the count down begins ^,^

Stephanie, think of your Sierra having the sweetest little twilight dreams, chasing birds, bunnies and butterflies, she had a grand time and will wake up ravenous! Try not to fret (yeah like I could). Think how much fun you will have fussing over her...just don't give her a call bell! YIKES!

Just talked to the vet tech. Everything is complete and Sierra is waking up! She is holding her head up and looking around but not completely alert yet. The Dr. still wants to keep her until 5 for observation. I know this is best. Just wanted to update. Not much longer now!

Great news Stephanie. Thanks for updating us Hang in there, just a little longer

She hasn't eaten since last night! She made sure I was aware this morning that I had "forgotten" about her breakfast!

Stephanie, how is Sierra, is she home? Give her a hug for me!

yes, is she home? did it go well? what were the results? I'm sure you're getting settled.....really want to hear!

Stephanie, I have only just seen your thread. Oh poor Sierra. Is she OK? Back home with you now? Lots of hugs to you and Sierra.

Anxiously awaiting the news. Hope all turns out well!

I can hardly wait any longer.... I am so anxious to know how our little star is doing

We're home! Sierra did very well! She has a little shaved spot on the right side of her neck and ointment around her eyes. Her eyes are a little red and still a little sleepy. Her coordination is off a bit, when she put her hands up on the cabinet she fell over. Her teeth are so white and pretty! When I asked if she could eat as soon as we got home, the Dr. said it would be fine but not to be concerned if she didn't want to eat for the rest of the night and that she may not eat as much as usual tomorrow. Not my Sierra! As soon as she walked in the kitchen, she talked non stop and danced around the fridge! She ate over half the can of Innova and wanted more! I told her she could have some more later because I didn't want her to eat too much too fast and get sick. She then proceeded to lick the floor where one of the little potato pieces had fallen! Nope, I don't believe her appetite was effected very much! Her lab results will all come back tomorrow. The Dr. will call to give them to me and then mail me a copy. Her physical exam shows her to be in perfect health. She still weighs 10 lbs., and the Dr. says it would still be a good idea for her to lose at least 1 lb...but at least she hasn't gained any more! While I've been typing this she has jumped up here and gone to sleep! On her first jump on the table she slipped and fell off. When I saw that she was OK I acted like I didn't see. Her pride has been injured enough today. Boy did I miss my sweet girl! I'm so happy she's back home where we can be together! Thanks everyone for all of your support and concern!

Great news Stephanie! I am so glad I know you were worried and I know that both you and Sierra are glad this is all over with!

Great news Stephanie, what a relief for you.

Oh yeah! Good job Sierra! Great job! That's wonderful. She sure looks like she's perfect to us!
<<<From Sasha: yes, she does wink wink >>>
But lose 1 lb? OMG, Sasha is 21 lbs and Sierra looks like an appealing waif to him! I'm sure her tests will all be in the normal range. I bet it was just nervewracking as heck, I'd be checking the clock every moment, UG!
What was her reaction when she first saw you??
I am very happy to hear this tonight!
Elizabeth and Mr. S.

Hurray!!!! glad that Sierra is ok
