Hi,
Rough weekend. The bandage applied last Thursday replacing the first one must have been too tight although no one admitted it. Max had been doing well the week before, but now he was eating very little, whining a lot. In short he was miserable. While the hospital is open 24/7, the surgeon and his staff are off weekends. I carried him around all weekend. Checked temp....none. Called first thing Monday and took him over.
The bandage was completely removed as were the stiches ( 13th day after surgery). Since then he is eating normally and he is also sleeping lots now that his cone is gone, too. He seems to be using both legs well. Have a call into the physical therapist to have her check and start therapy.
Honestly, you all were right. This has been very rough.
Hope all is well with you.
