He wasn’t eating for them but the minute I got him home, he inhaled a bowl of food then begged to go outside. He has so many stitches in him but it is a joy to watch him move because he does so easily and I can see that although he is in pain- it isn’t like the pain he was in. I missed him more than I thought I would and he about flew across the lobby when he saw me sitting there waiting for them to bring him out. They have him on three different pain pills and an antibiotic and I bought him one of those Kong soft collars to keep him from biting at his leg. The trimline I had is a bit ruined after Quincy decided to try and rub it off his neck so long ago after his surgery. This kong collar is inflatable so it also works as a pretty good pillow but I am not going to put it on him until night before we go to bed. I’m just so glad he is home and he made it through all that pain and emerged with a smile and a wag of his tail.
I love the soft collar, it is so much easier than that hard plastic one. So glad he is acting like his old self. I know even with the pain he feels better.
Wow, he’s already wanting to move about, eh? Well, why not? He’s a dog. And he has three good legs, still. Good for Cooper. Yes, you’re quite right about the different kind of pain. He no doubt thinks that himself. And, as always with a beloved pet, the best medicine is recovery at home!
