Kirby is doing very well 3 days post op. The only thing he hasn't been able to adjust to is eating his food out of his bowl with the e-collar on. The sound of the cone hitting the floor or bowl just makes him jumpy. Although scraping the cone on the ground outside or banging it into furniture doesn't bother him at all :huh:
I managed to work things out for giving him his ear ointment. I wait till night time and after he's been asleep a couple hours. I quietly get him up, wrap him in a towel, lay him on a pillow on his side, do an ear, praise, give small treat, do other ear, praise and treat. I am using a treat he never gets for anything else so it's very special.
The only thing that is driving me nutty(more nutty):blink: is I can't get the residue of the ointment out of his hair. I have tried waterless shampoo and that does nothing. I know it's not a big deal and the important thing is he is doing well and obviously the pain in his ears has diminished a lot since he let me touch them and wipe them down.
Here's a few pictures of Kirby with his Fonsie Hair Doo :w00t: My two favorite boys are in one of the pics, my son and Kirby.
