I will definitely keep a close eye on her! I've noticed she's been drinking quite a lot (which could be a problem in itself, as a symptom of kidney problems). She didn't have a fever when we were at the vet, and the inflammitory medicine I have to give her will work on the wound too. I'm just so glad my vacation starts Friday, so I can be home all day and monitor her a little better.
In my cup: another coffee, I really couldn't work without some more caffeine. One more hour to go ...
