Mae is healing well!

 

Well, little Miss Mae certainly does have an appetite this morning.  She was resting very comfortably yesterday but not too hungry.

This morning as soon as I walked into the room she was up and anxious for breakfast.  She has to stay on crate rest for two weeks then, if she's healed well, she can resume normal activities.

She has an incision site in the roof of her mouth.  This makes eating "interesting."  She cannot have really wet food because they tend to "smush" the food up into the roof of their mouths and that would cause food to possibly enter the incision.  She can't eat dry kibble because it would HURT as she chewed.  So, she has to have lightly softened dry kibble.
