Oh Tracey, your poor, poor little baby boy.....
You must be tearing your hair out, you're doing everything you possibly can for little Alfie, and I admire you more than you'll ever know for your care and compassion, you're so lucky to have one another.
When Harry had his anesthetic, yes his tail was down for a day or 2...and he was kind of dull and 'wandery'....if you're unsure about what was said to you, please call your vet tomorrow and ask them to re-explain - I know I've often been in a 'Vet-Daze' with it all - and they've been more than happy to re-go-over the detail
I hope you all manage to sleep well tonight (with his pj's on!!

) Love and a hug from Sally + Harry x
