Chauncy's Progress

I took this video on Sunday day 13 post op. He did fantastic even if I do say so myself. He doesn't do this well all the time but he is making great progress.

Outside on his potty breaks he does really well. Inside he tends to keep it up more than he does outside but that is normal.

The last day or so I have been able to stay in the living room with him rather than stay in the bedroom. He is doing great but he is one sad looking puppy and I feel guilty but he is not allowed to jump up on anything so until we get the all clear from the surgeon he stays on his beds.. or mine since it is on the floor...

Can I please get on the couch beside you... I love you!!

Tomorrow is surgery day

Well tomorrow is surgery day for Chauncy.. I am looking forward to it and not looking forward to it.. We have had a terrible time with the NSAIDS, he just does not do well on them at all and so far Anafen, metacam and previcox have caused him diarrhea and vomiting. I had to stop the previcox, the diarrhea just got too much and that is the last thing he needs after surgery. I had to increase his tramdaol dose last night and iced him up several times but he was more comfortable at least. It is easy to tell when he is in pain as he starts to lick his knee and then takes it in his mouth, and will refuse to get up and go out when I take the other dogs. He won't even move when I hold his leash up.. I hate this, hate seeing him in pain.
