Day Three Post-Op

Today brought more sleeping, a little less than yesterday but still more than normal. Max managed to get his new cone off of his head once last night, but we fastened his collar a touch tighter and that seemed to do the trick. He did mess with his stitches but, again, not too terrible.

R has been his favorite cuddle spot today. She picked him up once and plopped him in her lap and there he has stayed off and on all day. Every time she sits down he comes and demands to be picked up (jumping still isn't really an option). She's such a sucker for him that she let her arm fall asleep! (so sweet and cute)

Max is on his last day of pain meds, so we are going back to the Metacam (a steroid/anti-inflammatory) tomorrow. We're a little concerned he isn't ready to be off the meds, but we're happy we'll be at home to monitor him.

He's only faught the cone a couple of times today, hopefuly that means he's getting used to it enough to be left alone during the day with it on. He hasn't, however, tried to jump or really run, so we're glad we won't have to pen him next week.
