Oppie's LP surgery update -1
Oppie is home - they released him from the hospital this
afternoon. The surgery went well; only one glitch when he threw up the morning after the surgery, and the vet said that it was probably a fairly common reaction to the steroids they gave during surgery. He seems to be feeling pretty good for someone who just went through surgery. He's sucking up all the attention, pets, hand-feeding. We'll have to be particularly careful not to let him do too much too soon. We will also make sure that someone is with him 24x7 for the first week. The most difficult thing will be keeping him from getting too excited, which he does when a leash, food, or one of us returning home is involved. We've been working on presenting a very calm demeanor and not interacting with him until he calms down, or more proactively, putting him in a down-stay, but it hasn't been all that effective (too many years of our enjoying his excitement, I'm afraid); after he's released from the down, he just sproings up and resumes his wiggling, bouncing, whining, barking excited performance. Any suggestions for helping him stay calm will be appreciated! Thanks to all of you for your good wishes; I think they helped Oppie, and I know they helped me!
