Stitch had his pre-operative consultation on Thursday September 6th, 2018. They took his blood and the results turned out normal. Although during his checkup they found out that he has a hot spot on this neck. So that meant a couple of days without his collar and some spray antibiotics to help the hot spot heal.
He was scheduled today for his operation. Drop off was between 8:00 - 9:00am, no food the night before starting at 8:00pm on Wednesday. Only thing he was allowed to have was water. Stitch was so happy going to the vet and thinking it was another day for a checkup. Ohh was he in for a surprise that morning...
I got a call in the early afternoon, telling me his procedure went well and that he was going to be observed for the next couple of hours and that we needed to pick him up between 4:00 - 6:00 pm. Hubby went to pick him up after work. He wasn't the happy little boy he was that morning, still a little groggy and has to take some pills for his recovery. Also, he had to wear the cone for the next 10 days, which meant he would be running into things all day long. We were allowed to take the cone off when he needed to eat or go outside to use the bathroom.
I am happy that the surgery is over with and that the procedure went well but I'm waiting for him to be the happy little puppy he use to be running around chasing his sister, Jade, in the backyard. It will be an adjustment with his come for the next 10 days though.
