Hi everyone:
Rex's surgery was a week ago today. His incision looks great-it is nearly healed, and he does not seem to be uncomfortable at all. He sleeps closer to me than ever! He has yet to put any weight on the surgery leg so of course I am concerned but the vet said this is typical of small dogs. Nicole, thank you again for all your advice-I am wondering if you did any type of physical therapy exercises after surgery.
The xpen in my kitchen saved me-I went to a baby store and bought waterproof crib sheets for the floor "just in case" he got mad for being confined, (no accidents, yet, anyway). Nicole, I believe I owe you thanks for the xpen suggestion. It has saved me.
Shadream, try not to be scared-I know just how you feel and the worst part, I think, for us is just before-try and focus on picking them up! You will be in our thoughts tonight and please let us know everything goes tomorrow.
Rex has a "check up" Friday and I hope to know more then. |
