It was a septoplasty to repair her perforated septum. Unlike most surgeries of this type, the doc wasn't removing cartilage to repair a deviated septum but was instead adding a piece of cartilage the first had to be removed from above her ear.
She's doing ok. She has a more or less continuous nosebleed that can't be stopped by the usual pressure to the bridge of the nose because she had surgery in there today! There's a splint of some type up in her nose that comes out in two weeks. She is hurting but the meds seem to be keeping that under control. But she's a hurting hunnybunch tonight.
I've been playing nurse, replacing her bandage every hour or so, getting her meds and food and ice packs ever since she came out of the surgery which took 3 hours.
At least the hyperactive puppy has returned to the boy and isn't terrorizing our pets any longer!
