Misha was well on her way to full recovery by the next morning.  The swelling was gone from her body except for a small a amount that remained in her face.

But what’s this?  Something has happened to her ears!

Goodness!  She’s definitely having a bad ear day!

Either she’s too tired from her ordeal to hold her ears up or one of the medications has caused them to relax.

It was funny to see her reaction.  She most certainly did not like her ears this way.  All day she tried to push them back up on top of her head.

This wasn’t the only problem after her ordeal.  The medication made her very drowsy and sick to her stomach.  I gave her the second dose of benadryl as ordered and a couple hours later she was throwing up.

She was not feeling well all night, which made her very sensitive to being handled.  She was growling and snipping most of the evening.  So, I let her be.  I read that some animals will be this way when under the affect of medication.

Since all the swelling was down, I decided not to give her the recommend second dose of benadryl that night.  Unless she showed more signs of a reaction, I didn’t want to upset her stomach again.

Besides, she had enough to worry about with those darn ears falling in her face all day.
