Home Safely!

Our handsome guy made it safely through surgery and we are back home. He was able to stand and hop into our house with just a bit of assistance. Now we are resting together and hoping for a smooth night. The vet said the amputation went, “extremely well” which was obviously the best outcome we could’ve hoped for when we woke up this morning. His lungs looked clear on the x-ray and his blood test results didn’t reveal any issues. I know we still have a bumpy road ahead of us, but I appreciate the fact that it’s now a road to recovery. I’m feeling optimistic.

Glad you are home! What are you doing for pain management? I can tell you that the drugs the vet put me on made me taste colors! The first two weeks can be rough but things get better after that.

He had an oral cousin of morphine for the first couple of days and now is on tramadol and gabapentin along with vetprofen (generic rimadyl), an antibiotic and his normal thyroid pill for his hypothyroidism. Just a couple of little whimpers every once in a while, but otherwise he’s mostly smiles. 🙂
