No he seems absolutely fine...except the itching down there and the ecollar is getting on his nerves also....BUT otherwise you would never know he had surgery!! He is a trooper, but I am trying to do what is best and he is TRYING to kill me..lol!! I haven't had to give him anymore of the "right" painkiller and I am just nervous because I sae the blood last night..and the vet said IMPOSSIBLE when I saw it with my very own eyes...Maximus is like a friggin acrobat..he couldn't made some woman very happy..lol |

Your baby might be having some pain and itching. Get the Tea Tree Oil from the health food store and use a Q-tip to put a wee strip down each side of the incision BUT NOT TOUCHING THE INCISION! He will not like the taste and it is mildly antiseptic so it helps. IF,and this ia a big IF, you think he is hurting or itching a little bit, buy OraJel Max. strength. It has 20% benzocaine and will numb the incision. I don't wanna hear anybody laughing here and saying "Whassamattau? Don't you know that is for the GUMS!?" Seriously, I use it for More things that I can list. I always have some of it in the frig. Also, Aloe Jel with benzocaine..it does not have as much numbing med in it.. |
Thank you...my bf said that he is not appreciating the diapers much and scraping his body along the floor so I have a vitamin shoppe down the block so I will get the tree oil and the Orajel...thanks for the advice, as usual you are VERY wise!!! |
I agree with Julz. Unless he is pulling out the stitches, I don't think you have to watch him all the time. When you're resting try to sit someplace where he'll relax next to you. I even sat on the floor a few times. Just your presence will calm him. How many days till he gets the stitches out? I think I'd get a onesie to put on him. And I know this sounds awful but we took the stupid e-collar off after about 4 days. It was driving Bo crazy. Hang in there, you'll get through it. |
Ok, I want to re-open this thread! I need advice! Copper is getting neutered tomorrow!!!!! And this thread is scaring me to death! I talked the vet into letting me bring Copper home tomorrow night, but now I am afraid to trust him overnight with the stitches. HELP!!! |
Don't worry...I don't think this story was the norm. I had very little problem wih Buddha but a bellyband works well. The e-collar is so depressing imo. Good luck. |
