Did your vet write out discharge instructions for him? These will tell you what to expect after surgery and how soon to start giving him some freedom. If not, I'd call the vet to make sure.... they are responsible for his aftercare too. |
Yes they gave me aftercare instructions and things to watch for. it says Moderate activity after 7 days is ok, He has been very good to not try jumping from high places until today. Out bed sits about 3 ft high and I removed his step so that he couldn't get up there and jump off from the top but I went out this morning and he jumped up on the bed. now this was 3 feet he jumped he wanted to be by hubby I never imagined he could jump up that high without his crate to jump on first. I will have to keep the door closed for now I guess... its just to risky.
Hes gone all day today without the pain med and seems to be doing ok. still just sleeping for the most part. he did not eat his chicken this morning but did eat some eggs.
