The vet called at about 8 this morning to let us know we could come get Ru. So, I dragged Rachel out of bed and off we headed. 50 minutes later we’re home, with dog and fast food breakfast (heh, it’s my day off).

Rusalka was pretty lively when she came out, at least more that I expected. They gave us some antibiotics to give to her, and depending on the results of the culture from her bladder, which we should get in a few days, they may change them to something more effective against whatever bacteria they find.

In addition to the bladder stone removal, they also removed a mole from her lower right eyebrow. It bugged me to look at it, I can only imagine how much it bugged her having it. To do this, they shaved around her eye. Needless to say, it looks pretty weird, and not in an attractive way. Other than that, unless you look at her belly, the only other odd thing is the shaved band on her foreleg where they had the IV stuck in. It’s like some poodle affectation.

She conked out pretty quickly once we got her home, and no doubt she’ll be pretty out of it for a few days. Aside from the meds, we just have to keep her relatively calm for the next two week, to give things time to heal.

And, lastly, an image of the post surgery Ru. You see her weird shave eye area, and bald band on her foreleg.
