I'm the same way about the fish oil - I had to stop giving it to them because smelling their breath was making me sick LOL!

Here's an old video of Sam 1 week after surgery: YouTube - yorkiemischief's Channel

The first 2 nights were bad with the pain meds wearing off too soon and she got a UTI. Days 3-7 were gradually better each day. She figured out how to walk on the casts because she had to go outside to potty (plastic wrap was our friend!) We tried pads but she just looked me like, what the heck are these? Then she was bad for 2 more days after the casts came off because she lost her stability. Once she was confident walking again, the trouble began because she wanted to be active and she needed to stay calm for 4 weeks. She spent a lot of time on my lap wrapped in a blanket so she would not run away!
