Day 4 begins. Boomer did great during the night. He did spit up his meds though. L But has managed to keep them down this morning so far (knock on wood). Today will be the first day Boomer and I will be flying solo without other 2 leggers helping us. I don’t think we are going to have any problems. He has been asking to go out, helping with putting his harness on and getting up on the mattress by himself now. The only thing is, if I put his e-collar on, he takes it off. So we have to have 24 hour eyes to make sure he isn’t trying to lick his stiches.
The only bleeding we have is from his soaker port when he moves around too much and it has reduced drastically. Boomer is very comfortable with his incision and port because he lays down on them and sleeps without giving it a second thought.
Today, I might put his shorts on him because I think his backside gets cold without any fur on it. Hope he likes those bright orange boxers. He doesn’t mind his socks and helps with his harness so we will see.
I didn’t realize Boomer had been having some issues. Glad to hear that he seems to be doing better! Keep up the good work!
I think part of Super Boomers issues are because he is trying to do too much too fast.
So glad he’s doing better! Sounds like he has great spirit! Baby is on day 10 and she’s trying more and more ‘normal’ behaviors. Yesterday she ran across the yard to bark at a neighbor dog. She had a great time, but was pooped the rest of the day. She slept and slept! We keep wanting to protect her and have her go slowly, but they’ve got their own agendas, don’t they. I hope all it good healing for Boomer.
Judy and Baby
I am so glad she is getting back to ‘normal’ behavior. Boomer does have a lot of spirit and today he tried to rough up the rug with his nose while doing his paws and streatching motions. I had to stop him. It is hard to believe how quick they bounce back.
I am glad that our furry kids are close together post op time so you can let me know how Baby is doing and I know there is hope for Boomer.
Thank you again Judy for providing me such comfort. Well wishes to both you ladies.
Tina and Boomer
