Hi Y'all,
So, my little Teddy went in for surgery on Monday to have him neutered. I wanted to ask your opinion about this:
I asked the doctor when Kiki could come back home (Kiki is our female dog) they play very rough together and I didn't know when it would be OK to introduce them again, bc of his pain and his stitches. He said Wednesday (meaning yesterday). I'm here to say that there was no way we could have brought her home last night - he was STILL in a lot of pain. Today is better but he is forever trying to lick the sutured area and now it is all red, though he is on antibiotics so I'm not as worried about that. So my q's to you all is, when do you think I can introduce them again? When will he start feeling more like himself? And do you have any suggestions as to what I can do for him for pain (post pain medication?) He runs out tonight and I am sort of glad bc I think it keeps him dopey and makes me nervous! He's whimpering a LOT and not active in the evening since the surgery, only to hobble around and cry. So sad...
Your thoughts, as always, are greatly appreciated!!
