I'll keep you all updated. |
Well, his surgery went fine. Doc said that his heart rate wanted to drop right at the beginning, but they were all over it, and he is doing just fine.
Since he has special needs, with his cleft, Doc let me go ahead and bring him home this evening, with strict instructions to call him at home, or on his cell if I have a question or a problem.
Have I mentioned that Dr. Tim is a friend, besides being a gifted vet and surgeon, and that we love him???
Zacchie is still pretty much out of it, but has eaten a few bites of bread. He can't stand, but as I was reminded, I am seeing him sooner after the surgery than most people see their post-op dogs.
Keep us in your prayers tonight. I'm sleeping on the couch next to his crate, just to keep watch over him.
