I was very worried too! I took off and cried all day. When she got home she was very sleepy, but she woke me up at midnight jumping up and down on her back legs ready to play!!! Little monster!!! After that was FINE. They did send me home with 3 days of Metacam, which is a non-drowsy pain medication.
Good luck and keep us informed!! |
His stitches are outside and I've been letting him lick them a little bit just because he's not excessive about it. He just does a few little licks for 20 seconds or so and I know that's their way of healing their wounds. He hasn't tried to bite at them yet or anything so I'm not too worried!
He's got 5 days of pain meds but I have a feeling I won't have to give them for 5 days.
