I just went through this Monday with Buddy. We got him there at 8am. Yes were were nervous wrecks. At 10am they called and said surgery was a success. Told us that we could pick him up between 4:30 and 6pm. Make sure you pick your Yorkie up that day or, find a new vet!!!
As for the post surgury, when we picked him up he was very groggy. Unlike his normal self which was hopping around in the car from front to back and every which way in between, he was doped up. Natalie drove and I had Buddy in my lap. He was pretty much out of it. Later that night he was alert, but not moving much. I mentioned in my other post, I went to pick him up and he cried. It was a soft little cry so I put him down. We made a place for him in between us, but soon I put him in my lap. He slept and I just pet him for hours while we watched a few programs on tv.
At bed time we got him on the bed and he moved a few times until he found his spot and slept fine. The next day he was still moving slowly, but by mid day he was moving around and eating. By night, he was good ole Buddy again. Today we went on 2 walks and he's just about back to normal.
I know each dog will deal with this differently so just be there for him and he should be fine. My thoughts are with you! |
