He was very good last night. He slept through the night, which surprised me. He was up just before 6:00 this morning which is normal since the alarm goes off at 6:00 every day. He had breakfast and a tramadol and then a warm compress held on his incision for about a half hour to help bring down the swelling. He goes back in two weeks to have the staples removed and he will lose the lampshade around his head at the same time. Poor little fella doesn't look so happy in this picture, but all things considered he is much, much better than he was just a few days ago. We want to thank Dr. Carman and Dr. Freed and the wonderful staff at Lynn Animal Hospital in Riverdale, MD for diagnosing the problem and getting us to a surgeon as quickly as possible. We also want to thank Dr. Dharshan Neravanda and the wonderful staff at Dogs & Cats Veterinary Referral & Emergency center. Dr. Neravanda performed the surgery late Saturday night and we are so very grateful to him for coming to the hospital and performing this surgery so quickly. Both facilities are just wonderful and highly recommended to anyone in the area who is looking for veterinary care for their pets.
