Beachbum1 Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 Taylor is home, as of 1:45 PM. He is managing getting up and down, and he gets around OK in the back yard. At around 4:30, he drank water, ate a jar of baby food, and around a half a can of 2 different kinds of dog food. Then he went out to pee (good color) and a big poop, and now is resting again. He seems comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachbum1 Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 He ate another 1/2 can of dog food around 7:00 PM, and maybe a half a cup of rotisserie chicken. Then he went out to pee, plenty and looked OK, and then came in a drank a bowl of water. Sutures come out 14 days after surgery, so that's a week from Friday. I finally went to take a shower at 9:00 PM, leaving Face and Taylor sleeping in the den. 15 minutes later, Face wandered into the bathroom. When I walked back into the den, no Taylor!!! I looked in one of the bedrooms, and there he was laying there all by himself. Sleeping comfortably on the carpet. I put the little table top fan on the floor to blow on him, and hopefully I can get him up at 11:00 PM to take his Tramadol, go out to pee, and then get him into my bedroom onto his bed. Otherwise, wherever he will be sleeping tonight is where I will put the inflatable bed. I have no idea if he can go overnight without peeing. Still plenty of fluids, but no bruising.

Beachbum1 Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Last evening, and overnight went well. I took him out to pee in the middle of the night, but he slept the rest of the night. Maybe it was too bright in the room? No clue with Taylor with his nose jammed under his bolster bed. And Face was in his usual position. Bruising is pretty much all gone since he got home yesterday, edema is WAY down, and the incision looks clean and dry. The skin is just a little pink, but that's mostly the camera. He's peeing a nice color; drinking water; ate 2 cans of dog food, a jar of baby food, and around a cup of little pieces of rotisserie chicken during a few feeding yesterday after he came home, and he gets up and down fine. He's balancing OK on his 3 legs, too. By 12:30 PM today, he's been outside three times walking around and peeing, and pooped, and has had a can and a half of dog food. Now it's nap time again.

Beachbum1 Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 This morning, Taylor ate almost 2 cans of dog food, and a jar of baby food. At around 10:00 AM, after they went out to pee, I asked if he wanted to go for a ride (that's the normal time).......YESSSSSS. He went right to the back door, out into the garage, and up the steps into the back of the Tuscon. He then laid right down and we went for a ride. Even stopped at one of their favorite places, the pool supply store, and one of the guys that works there came out to see him. Now he's resting comfortably. 9 days after surgery.

a_daerr Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Taylor looks so good! What a good dad he has to help him in the car and take him for rides. P.S. That incision is really clean- one of the better ones I've seen on a front leg amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
