On the Road to Recovery

Orion's ACL repair surgery was done yesterday afternoon after tearing it on sunday. He seems to be doing well, except perhaps a little jealous watching the free-roaming Laika and cat from his kennel :(

I was a terrible mom and thought that he was sedated enough not to need the e-collar last night but he pulled his stitches so I brought him in this morning and put a few staples in and the e-collar is definitely on alll the time now!

His surgery was done by 2 and I picked him up around 4:30 so here's him still looking quite sedated on the ride home:
Poor guy :( He was pretty whiny last night but is doing better now.
Starting him on fish oil and glucosamine and hopefully he'll have an easy and speedy recovery!

Comment by Michelle, Mochi, & Draper on April 27, 2012 at 3:05pm: You aren't a terrible mom silly! You just wanted your baby to be as comfy as possible and thought that it would be safe. Now you know that the baby just gets into too much trouble without that thing on, hehe :) Same thing happened to me with Mochi when she came back with the little satellite dish on her head.

Wishing Orion a quick and easy recovery!
