Home from the Vet

We just got home a little while ago with Buddy. The Vet is about an hour away from our house, so Buddy was a little uncomfortable but he's doing pretty good considering the long drive. I tried to get him to go potty when we got home, but no dice. I carried him up the stairs and into the house and he pr
etty much has stayed where I left him. He drank a bowl full of water, but isn't very interested in food yet. I finally got him to lay down and I rolled him on his back, this is his favorite sleeping/relaxing position, and have spent the last 15min giving him a soft belly rub and he seems to be taking a little nap now. I am currently on the floor with him using my laptop because I don't want to disturb him lol.

Right now it seems that its going to be Buddy vs. The Cone. Like I said he hasn't moved much since we got home, he seems to not want to lift his head up high enough to pick the cone off the floor.

It was a stressful day, and our house certainly didn't feel like a home without our little furbaby running around. We are just glad to have him back and are hoping for a speedy recovery.

Thank you all for your support in Kevin's last post.

I spared you the icky part :)

Update: We took the cone off and got a good poo and pee and now he's eating a little bit..

I'm sure he will be just fine, he looks like a trooper and will pull right thru.

Just don't tell Jazmin about this, she is already a brat enough about the shots today. Can't imagine what will come of her when she finds out what spaying is all about.

Comment by Tris & Jeanne on July 24, 2010 at 1:38pm: Fox to Buddy: "Just say NO to the Cone Zone. Rip it off! Eat it if you have to! PS You'll feel better in a few days. Work it while you can though - your humans OWE you steak bits and chicken...... Good Luck Buddy!"

Comment by Kevin and Buddy! on July 24, 2010 at 12:52pm: Yeah we left the cone on overnight of course since he has tried to lick his wounds a couple times when the cone has been off... When we can watch him 100% we take the cone off, but if we can't watch him we leave it on. He is starting to get a little used to it but it is taking some time. He seems to have slept well, but he is a little whiny today. I'm sure its going to start to itch so he will probably spend a little extra time with the cone on today :).

Every time I put the cone back on he just sits there for a minute and gives me the most pathetic sad puppy face I have ever seen. After sulking he usually just lays down and goes to sleep. When the cone comes off I am his most favorite person in the world!

Comment by Edward and Gemima on July 24, 2010 at 12:18pm: glad it's going OK....we didn't mess with using the cone too much, both Ed and Gem left their incisions alone with a little LEAVE IT and we were home with them most of the time so it was OK.

Comment by Jane Christensen on July 23, 2010 at 7:19pm: He looks like he's wondering how long he'll have to wear the huge cone too! In a few days he'll forget about it all! Good luck Buddy!

Comment by Judi, Dawn, Soffie & Griffyn on July 23, 2010 at 6:40pm: Heal real fast Buddy!

Comment by Monica, Orion, and Laika on July 23, 2010 at 6:25pm: Aw Orion is home from the vet today from his neuter and he's pretty much been sitting all over me since we got home :) Hope Buddy recovers quickly and doesn't have to keep the cone on too long
