Emma Update!

Emma is doing quite well. After her surgery she had a big pocket of air under her skin that would slowly disperse. It had been getting smaller, but over the last couple days we noticed it seemed to be getting bigger. I called the vet today and he wanted to see her just to make sure it was okay. After looking it over he decided to stick a needle in it to suck some of the air out. When he stuck it in there was a liquid that came out. He called it sernoma liquid that often builds up after surgery. He ended up pulling out 50cc of liquid!! Needless to say she looks much better and is back to her normal size! The doctor put a tight wrap on her to prevent any more liquid from building up. So she looks bad now, but it's only for the weekend!
