I'm glad it's minor, they said that he'll be able to come home the same day.. so thats a good thing. I guess if it wasn't so minor they wouldn't have told me that.

i'm glad they figured out what it was! It sounds pretty minor to me. My mom's poodle had a few cysts removed in her life and it was no big deal. I'm sure Pippin will pull out great and be happy that his little bump is gone!

Update: Dropped Pippin off at the vet this morning. It was a hard thing to do even though I knew I'd be seeing him in a few hours. He was struggling against the nurse to get to me and I had to bite my lip to keep from crying. The vet called with an update, he's fine and will be back in my arms by 4.

Picked Pippin up about an hour ago. He's wearing an e-collar and it's uncomfortable for him and all he can do is cry. Anyone have any suggestions that could stop his crying. Should I take the e-collar off for a little bit and then put it back on again? I'm confused but listening to him whine like that is breaking my heart.

Perhaps he would be happier with a baby onsie on? As long as he doesn't dig at them it should be fine.

I was told not to feed Pippin last night because it could make him sick. I just couldn't handle his crying because it was making me cry. At about 7:30 when my mom got home from the airport(she went to vegas) Pippin was still crying and I cooked him up some white rice using just water because I can't use chicken broth. When it cooled off enough I gave him a little bit in a small bowl and he ate it right up. I waited about half an hour and when he didn't get sick I gave him some more. That was what he wanted all along, he was hungry and he was wobbly still from being knocked out.

I was up almost every hour with him because he couldn't get comfy with that e-collar around his neck. I spelt sitting up most of the night (well when I did sleep) because he curled up between my legs for a little while. Finally around 5am after making a trip downstairs and outside to go pee he finally curled up as close to me as he could get and slept until about 7:30 because he heard my mom up. Well she took him from me and went to put him outside and then he went to bed with her and I went back to bed and slept until 9:30

I'm happy to say that he's more like himself today. He's eating and drinking almost normally, and he's almost back to normal with going outside. I put him out 3 times today, most of the day he slept. one day down, just nine more to go before he can take off the e-collar and get his stitches out.

Pippin had his stitches out today. No more e-collar around his neck. It only took about a minute to take them out and he's happy that he doesn't have to wear an annoying plastic collar around his neck anymore. He also had a nice long hot bath, which he loved cause he got to play with his toys. When bathtime was over he got his teeth brushed and his ears cleaned out. He's a happy little guy now, totally back to normal.

Glad to hear Pippin is doing great and getting back to his normal self!
