Kaylee's home!

Yay!!!

We picked her and her many bottles of pills up at the vet's today. She's still not completely up to snuff, but she had major surgery, so I'm not surprised. She is, of course, trying to do more than she really can yet (like jump up over the arm of the couch), so we're going to have to crate her tomorrow. That'll be fun.

She lost five pounds, and due to a few factors, her muzzle is all deflated. It may, or may not, puff back up. If she stays healthy with a deflated muzzle, I'm fine with that. She looks like a different dog, but she's still Kaylee inside!

The vet thinks it's inflammatory bowel disease, but we won't know for positive until the biopsies come back - and that should be by the end of this week or the beginning of the next. He liver looks fine, and the vet thinks that a flare-up of the IBD is triggering the liver problems.

Right now, Kay's resting peacefully on the couch:

It's great to have her home!
