KF_in_Georgia Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I'd recommend some rubber booties so he could keep his footing without falling, but... When you need to leave the room and you're worried about him scrambling to get up, maybe you can just let him get up and walk with you. My Sam did a Bambi in the dining room one night: he was snoozing in the living room, I went to the kitchen without him realizing it, and he had to scramble to get to the kitchen before the first piece of kibble hit the dish. After that, I started making a big deal of getting up in the living room so Sam could get up, get his footing, and follow me safely.

Guest june Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 June, I would love to borrow one of your ecollars if we lived closer. I am sorry to hear you are not feeling well. Yes, Jimmy's New Year's resolution is most certainly to give up eating the delicious canvas and rubber dog boots. If you PM me your addy I'll overnight one to you on Monday morning.

sweetdogs Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Jimmy, you're a rock star! Major abdominal surgery & you're causing trouble already!

lovinggreysslp Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 Jimmy loves eating his canned I/d food! He is also feeling up to swiping his nose across the table to see what new inappropriate items he can ingest. He seems to be healing well and is getting up much more today. Today I had to add a little bit of chicken broth to water to get him to drink. Any suggestions to encourage drinking would be great. I also think the tramadol makes him restless which makes our getting some sleep at night a bit difficult. I am just grateful that he is healing well and knock on wood, has not thrown up a single time since being home!

tbhounds Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 So glad he's doing well! Just wanted to mention that he's most likely not thirsty because he's eating just canned food now. I wouldn't worry too much if his water consumption is decreased a bit. If you feel better seeing him drink more mix a tablespoon of the I/D into his water--I'll bet it will encourage him to drink :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a sweet tooth, and it worked. Not too much, just enough to flavor the water a little. Sounds like Jimmy is quickly getting back to normal.
