That will make you feel better.....I sure wouldnt give him anything for pain until he is completely awake from that anesthesia.... |
I hadn't thought about the pedialyte but DH is picking up baby food for him I will call and add that to the list. Thank you for the advice. The vet is going to check in with us again later. He is up walking a bit now but seems so weak.
