I talked to a really nice nurse at the hospital earlier. She let me know that Gracie may be very loopy from the pain medicine. She suggested i give her some time off from the collar and see what she does. Its now 9:40 at night and i can see she’s still loopy, so no meds until tomorrow. She still hasn’t eaten, but she has groomed herself so i take that as a good sign. Collar goes back on in 20 minutes until tomorrow. Wish me luck.
