what's cooking?

The good news is that the skin tag on Sunshine's head is now gone, as well as that cyst on her neck.  A bonus is that she only lost 2 teeth this time! Of course, I also have to point out that the poor thing only has 6 upper teeth and 4 lower teeth.  Four of those teeth are her front canines. The remaining are all molars at the back of her mouth.We were informed that she probably was not going to be able to eat dry food anymore.  She now has 3 stitches on the top of her head, 5 on her neck and some in her mouth. Those various areas had fur shaved.  She came home and gave me the total stink eye while she was bobbing her head up and down-debating whether or not she wanted to sleep.  

Lucky did fair a bit better.She also lost a couple of teeth but only in the front of her mouth.  Her cyst was only 2 stitches.  But I still got quite the stink eye.

For the next 2 weeks Sunshine will only be allowed wet food.  If we choose to give her dry food, from here on out it will have to be soaked in broth or water until it's mush.

Steve was the one who picked the girls up. He said he felt quite faint when he got the bill.  Even with our senior/dental discount it was well over $1400!!!

But we love them.  What would any parent do?  

It did include a host of blood work,the exams, the nail trimming, the surgeries and Lucky's bordatella booster. They also sent us home with the needed pain meds, cones (in case they wouldn't leave their stitches alone) and antibiotics.  

I get the task of taking them back in a couple of weeks for the surgical stitches to be removed and their mouths checked.
