A free puppy!?!?!?

[TINAJ]

1/2 baby aspirin should be fine (check with your vet to be sure) for short term. Watch for any vomiting of blood (digested blood looks like coffee grounds) or dark tarry stools. I hope this description hasn't offeneded anyone--I forget not everybody finds these things "normal". Your puppy probably had strong post-operative medications, as any surgery that enters the chest is quite painful. Young animals usually bounce back relatively quickly, and their organ systems aren't mature so many medications are a little tricky to use with puppies. Again, thank you so much from all of us animal lovers for giving this little girl a chance. Good luck!

Barnsey, I saw the mention of Wyoming. Did you grow up there? If so, where? I spent the first 25 years of my life there. Grew up in the sprawling metropolis of Elk Mountain (pop. 200 counting dogs). I miss it sometimes, but not in the middle of winter.
