Update 4 on Itty-bitty

As I mentioned, Itty-bitty's surgery went quite well. She had to spend the first 24 hours at the vet clinic because they wanted to keep an eye on her. This picture was taken after she went to stay with her foster. As you can see, she is wearing what I call "The pool float." We have the same kind for our dogs - if they need one. I prefer it to the "Cone of shame" because it is way more comfortable.

frosted donut it is. The doc says that she is actually about 12 weeks old, just malnourished. She gained a little bit, but not a lot. I expect that she'll gain more now that's she's with her foster parent. They also spayed her while she was at the vet clinic. Thanks again for asking.

A lot of folks donated to help out with her vet bills. I put in the last $100.00 to take care of it. Luckily, we have the means to help out when we can.
