Miss Sakura has been having a good day - yay! We are grateful for the support. :)
The combination of Meloxicam and Buprenorphine seems to managing her pain nicely. She had the look of pain in her eyes early this morning when it was time for her next dose. Since then, she has been more lively.
She is eating steadily, and I've seen her actually resting on the "stitches" side of her body this afternoon.
I am keeping track of the incision site with pictures (if anyone is interested).
At the vet's office, before surgery, she weighed 1328 grams.
On my scale, after surgery:
10/14 - 1241 grams
10/15 - 1224 grams
Lynx, please do add any of the pictures to the thread.

Of course we are interested!
Is she eating critical care? I would suspect a slight weight loss is normal after major surgery during the first day or so post-op, but if she will readily take CC is couldn't hurt.

I suspect some of the weight that she lost was due to the size of the cyst. Since she has been eating on her own, I haven't started Critical Care. Her next weigh-in is a bit later tonight.
Stitches yesterday:
Stitches today:
I hope to get a picture of her from the side soon.
