Yesterday was a big day for our boy. He had the soft palate surgery, he was neutered, they removed his inverted and embedded tail, and corrected his cherry eye! I felt so bad when I picked him up- he was just pitiful. But, as of this morning, he's prancing around like his normal, happy self. I am keeping him on pain meds for the first 4 days- mostly b/c I know the tail will probably be the most painful.
I waited about 6 weeks to do this surgery, just to make SURE that his tail couldn't be kept healthy naturally, but I think we ultimately made the right decision. I am so glad that these surgeries are behind us, and I'm excited to see Chunk become the healthy dog he really is!
Here is a video I took of him last night. He SO badly wanted to be in the kitchen with me, but as you can see, the sedation medication was taking its toll on him! Lol- it made me laugh :D
