Guest Annie Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Post surgery day 5 I think Canyon is doing well, but he is so quiet because of the Gabapentin and Percocet, that it's hard to tell. There's no crying out, just lots of sleeping, resting AND HEALING! You can see in the picture taken this morning, that he is out of it. After hearing from other people in this thread about how painful this surgery is, we have kept his pain meds at a higher level. He has attempted to scratch the incision a couple of times. Good thing we are with him 24/7 to keep that from happening! He continues to eat well and relieve himself easily so that's ALL GOOD! I tell you, we are sure looking forward to the day that he is his kooky, boisterous, GRINNING self again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Annie Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 (edited) Canyon had diarrhoea yesterday afternoon and wouldn't eat his dinner, so he didn't get his meds in the evening. (Unlike the other pups, I can't get near him with a pill... he simply throws a fit.) Because of that, he let out a few cries during the night. It's like a lightening bolt going through me! My heart just breaks each time! At 4 AM, he accepted a small ball of meat with his Gabapentin and he's sleeping peacefully now. Me... not so much. Oh well, there's always GT to keep me company!

racindog Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Canyon is really putting your nursing skills to the test isn't he? Well, not to worry. You've got a secret weapon to speed his recovery-the healing power of Jesus and love . Look how good its worked so far! Give that boy his usual kiss from his KY connection and tell him we're still waiting to see that picture of his frist post surgery grin!

Guest Annie Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Canyon's incision site looks so healthy! No swelling and the small amount of bruising there was, is almost gone. Canyon post surgery day 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NevadasMom Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I think that he looks remarkably well for having such major surgery only 6 days ago. I hope the rest of his post-operative time goes well.

Guest Annie Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Canyon post surgery day 7 My baby is still resting a lot. We've had a couple of big screams in the past 16 hours. One when Geoff came home from work last evening and Canyon got very excited... the other, during the night when I left the room. We are still praying that his pain is coming from the surgery site and not something that we missed. I know this was a very serious surgery and it will take time for Canyon to heal, but hearing him continue to scream just about unravels me.
