lexi post-op

we are glad to report the surgery was a success with no complications! lexi spent the first day at the vet's office, where they insist on keeping the pet overnight. i picked her up the next day after i woke up (i had worked the previous night) and brought her home. we have to restrict her activity for seven days to keep her from re-opening the surgical site and her stitches get to come out on the 25th. she is doing fine and shows no signs of someone who just had major abdominal surgery, in fact, i sometimes have to remind her dad that she's not allowed to play like she normally does, even though she has just as much energy as ever!
the pictures of her outside are from the morning i took her to the vet (notice the look of concern). the two pictures with the orange tile floor are of later that day when we decided to go visit our little girl after her surgery. the last picture is of lexi the next day resting peacefully at home after nearly two days at the vet's office.
