Thanks SO much for that support- it really made me feel so much better just reading those posts! It's so easy to get overwhelmed with everything- I haven't been separated from him for more than a bathroom/shower break since Friday and my heart is just broken for the little guy.
We just went to Moose's normal vet for a check up on the stitches. The doctor said they looked great and said he was very happy to see that Moose was willing to bend and use his back legs. He also said that it looked as if the surgeon did an excellent job! He hasn't really walked yet but that's probably because I've had him right next to me the
entire time.
I told him I was worried about stopping the Metacam tommorow and he gave Tramadol-which you mentioned, amandawash- did you have a good experience with it? Moose has a sensitive tummy so I'd hate to give him anything to upset him right now. I was kind of hoping the narcotics were for me! haha
But I am a little more relaxed now that I know Moose is healing and recovering well.
-Oh and the vet said to try sweet potato tommorow if he hasn't pooped because its been 6 days- yikes
Oh and the softee collar has given me some relief now that I'm using it right, I don't have to be on stitch patrol
He can't get to the stitches anymore but he's flipping himself over trying to get to them!
Can't be good for him.
And it really does help me SO much to read your posts- its keeping me sane, thank you! All this stress and exhaustion has me an anxious, crying mess haha. I'll wait to hear if you guys did okay with the Tramdol before I give it to him.
Thank You!!
