Yesterday, I took Pixie to the vet for her annual teeth cleaning.
All went well.
When I went to pick her up,
I noticed she wouldn't lay down in the car.
She was also yelping.
They told me she might have a little bloody discharge from her mouth.
Imagine my surprise when we got home, and I found blood on the couch and on her leg.
Luckily,
the vet was still open, so I took her back.
The gouge required 12 stitches to close.
We don't know what happened.
I know that no one tried to hurt her.
Most likely, she was thrashing in her cage when she was coming out of the anesthetic.
No one saw the injury when we left.
I didn't notice it either.
I'm just glad that she's okay.
Here are her pictures.
That injury took 12 stitches to close.
Poor Pixie was so out of it that she couldn't keep her head up to breathe.
I had to lift her head up to keep her breathing.
The
pillow helped to keep her head up when I wasn't with her.

Poor Pixie!!!
She's feeling better now!
I'm glad!
