Snick had a great evening and even a better night. We put his playpen by our bed but he did try to climb up a bit so we brought one of his beds into our bed and he slept like a rock from 10pm-8am. He didn't move, of course I was up most of the night but did manage to get a decent nice sleep.
This morning he went pee and he ate like a HORSE, I have not seen him eat that fast in a long time so that was great. Giving him his meds is like world war II and he puts up a fight but I manage. I hate giving him his meds, he hates them, esp the tramadol, wow, he gags!! He is also on Metacam and Clavamox. Alot of drugs!! I have Metacam for 30 days and Clavamoz until it runs out. The vet said to give him Tramadol for 3 days and then if needed.
I did just take him out for potty and he squatted to poop but nothing came out
. He is probably constipated which makes me sad.
He has started moving around ALOT!!! While going outside for potty I let him have a very short small slow walk and he did use his leg. That's a plus!! The surgeon told me to this everyday to help his knee heal.
I hope I;m doing everything right. I have a feeling tonight will not be as peaceful, I know Snick and he will try to move around so looks like I will be on the floor and him in his playpen. I am so happy his pen is working out b/c having to put him in a crate would KILL me. He is not trying to stand up or jump up at all so I pray it stays that way.
I love him!!
