ouch!
No I did not cut myself again.
Zach is home from the vet where he had his, uh, procedure this morning.
He's hopped up on goofballs, whiney and clingy. Right now he's at my feet curled up on the cushy fleece side of the cat's former pillow (which I actually bought for Inti but it was too small) with an afghan that Aunt Grace made for me wrapped around him to keep him warm.
When the morphine wears off, he should be a bit calmer. And he's also on rimadyl, which should help with any swelling or inflammation as well as discomfort. At this very moment he's asleep and chasing rabbits. It's adorable. I want to squeeze him!
I haven't seen the incision yet, and I don't want to call attention to it, either. He doesn't seem to be zeroing in on where it hurts.
For the most part I don't mind at all just having to sit here and hold his paw. But for the record I would like to mention that today is cloudless - I mean 100% cloudless - with mild temperatures and only the gentlest of breezes. I would kill to be outside.

Zach got tutored, eh?
You are a good mommy.AC
poor jackdaw.
he has a nice mommy.
kcskatesd1elFrom someone who works in a vet hosp.... Rimadyl is a great pain killer, but one word of advice. If Zach is feeling really great, he may get too active and work out some of the sutures. It may sound kinda cruel, but you want them to feel a bit twingey so the animals naturally restrict themselves...especially those critters who have a high energy factor. Hope this helps...feel freel to call/email if you need me! -Kir
does he bark a little higher now?
Aw. Poor Zach.
I want to hug him.
How's he doing, now that it's a couple of days later?
