 My man had luxating patella repair yesterday
Hi Everyone
My little guy had surgery to repair a grade 4 luxating patella yesterday. He wasn't provided with an e-collar or any type of bandage over his stitches. I was just wondering if
a) is this normal? ( i did google search and most dogs seemed to have both. I just found it odd).
b) would it be ok if I covered him with a clean blanket to keep him warm (he just seems cold to me with his little shaved leg). I don't want to invite infection!
It's so hard not to wonder if I made a mistake having this done even though I know it was the right thing to do. He's just having such a hard time getting comfortable!
Here is a pic of him (100X more alert than he was yesterday!) |
