Sooooo Chunk's Entropion surgery is scheduled for Friday (March 11) at 8:30am. I know he's going to feel soooo much better after but I am so totally nervous. (First surgery with my first doggie ever!) I am curious of everyone's opinions on a few things.
1. We had originally planned on having Chunk neutered at the time of the eye surgery. I spoke with the eye doctor the other day and he said he doesn't recommend it. He agreed that yes, it's an advantage to not have to put him under anesthesia again - but the disadvantage is that he'd be under anesthesia much longer, which is why he doesn't recommend it. Thoughts anyone??? At this point I'm not going to have him do the neutering but curious what you all think.
2. Has anyone used this kind of a collar after surgery? In lieu of the plastic ones? Just exploring all options ... thinking he could rest easier in a softer type collar but don't know if it will do the job. Amazon.com: KONG Cloud E-Collar, Dog Collar, X-Large: Kitchen & Dining
3. Any other suggestions for pre/post-surgery?
Thanks in advance for any and all advice!
