Betty's first hospital stay

On 15th January, vet found that Betty has Neck Lesions. She kindly scheduled Betty for tooth extraction in late afternoon. Because Betty's condition was worse than expected, the procedure of extraction of 5 teeth lasted for 1.5 hours. In the end, we decided to let her remain in hospital overnight.

Maybe because its the first experience in her lifetime to be away from home, she urinated, but refused to eat. So we picked her up the next morning.

Upon returning home, her appetite improved satisfactorily. Eating 40% of her normal amount that lunch time, and increasing to 75% in the evening. Back to 100% of normal the next day. 

We gave her soaked dry food on the fifth day and she enjoyed it. By the eighth day, she wanted normal dry food. The amount she ate doubled that of what she ate before the dental treatment and didn't require any toppings to make her eat.

Hope she can regain her weight soon, as over the past 6 months or so, she lost around 0.5kg and vet is starting to get worried.
