Thanks... I ended up calling the vet and yep 1/4 baby aspirin every 4-5 hours as needed... just as I suspected. She also told me to put some a thin layer of zinc cream (the baby diaper rash cream) around the incision... she said more often than not it's not painful just uncomfortable and itchy. I think that will help heal it as well. I put the cream on and he seems more comfortable, I haven't given him any aspirin yet, it's Sunday and there's no pharmacy's open (duh) the baby aspirin is locked up in the pharmacy counter here in Canada.
If he isn't improving by tomorrow I'll go buy some.
The vet and I also discussed how I think he's really just being a man about it and milking it for all it's worth. He now knows that mommy is going to baby him and let him sleep in the playpen, and carry him everywhere... you should see him the second I sit down he's beside me whimpering to get in my lap.... it's pathetic, but cute!
Thanks everyone... YT Rocks. |
