bionic dog

We returned our den to mostly normal with cage sides blocking the exits but the new arrangement seems to make him happier. Since he won't need to wear a cone we hope he won't try to escape this new area.
We took Mushka to ECVR for his first post surgery follow up appointment. It was hot as hades here today so the ride in a car without good A/C wasn't fun for any of us. Dr. Stoll was waiting for us when we arrived and took Moo back for an exam. Within a few minutes she was back and said he looked great. They took his staples out sooner than planned because the incision is healing so well. We asked about the loss of appetite and she said the antibiotic, Cephalexin, could be to blame. She suggested we continue to give him one Pepcid a day. She is very happy with his progress and wants to see him back in three weeks.
We got copies of his x-rays - the before & after are amazing to see.
