The Snork is getting better.....slowly. Under her neck and shoulder where they needed to cut out the dead tissue she has open wounds that must be dressed every couple of days. She is being a very good sport about the whole thing and has not complained once. I think that this is because the vet nurses spoil her rotten. As she soon as she gets there she throws herself at them and leans all over them and demands attention. It use to take two nurses about 20 minutes to bandage her but now they have it down pat and can do it in 10.

The nurses have been having a great time choosing different coloured bandage for her. The even went on the internet to find out what number a yellow vest was so they could get it right! She just loves them and I am relieved that when I have to leave her there she is loved and taken care of. The other day after a session Hayley offered her a treat and madam did not want that treat and promptly stuck her snorkel into the jar to choose something better. I told her off for being cheeky but they love her and let her get away with whatever she wants.
She is still running a temperature so they have started her on a course of different antibiotics. They are liver flavoured hence I do not need to coat them in a tablespoon of peanut butter before I shove them in her gob every morning and night. Poncho cottoned onto the peanut butter caper and now will only take his Valium if it is covered in a mound of it. I am sure that they are addicted. Not to the drugs. They NEED to chase the 'peanut butter' every day.

Poor Gracie, I am glad that you are getting so much tender loving care, and that your nurses are sensible enough to understand that a girl still needs to be fashionable even when recouperating. Feel better.
