It is great you get to take him home that night! it would be so hard to leave him over night. Please keep us posted- i'll be thinking of you and sweet Ranger!  |
Oh Marci, I so appreciate your kindness. Knowing that other people care about Ranger makes me feel so good. I know it's best to get it over with. Unfortunately, this week has taken a turn for the worse. I'll do a seperate thread....

He's definitely a lot more alert able to maneuver around somewhat. He actually hobbled around last night and this morning to potty. He's getting better each time we take him to potty.
The one thing that the surgeon stressed was to confine him. No jumping of any kind. YT member Kalina82 actully gave me some very good pointers on somethings that I hadn't even considered. I did have Hot Rod on a pillow on the couch and at one point he kinda jumped up and couldn't get his footing and he let out a loud yelp and I went to grab/pick him up and he yelped...she said that he could have seriously hurt himself with all of those pillows and/or falling. I now have a soft crate with netting on all the sides on the table between the sofas where he is confined in.
I know that Ranger will do great through the surgery. Mommy is the one that will need to sedatives (   ) Hot Rod is 4 lbs. |
That is so wonderful to hear the Hot Rod is improving so rapidly. I know with Ranger, he will have to be in his crate or on a leash, there is no stopping that boy.
Please keep me updated on Hot Rod's recovery thoughout the weekend. I will most likely PM you this weekend to find out exactly what to expect. Thank you for being so supportive and helping me through this. Give him kisses from me.
