He's home!

Siris came home today. And I think I lost a layer of skin to his licking. He was so very excited to see both of us, I thought he was just going to jump out of his skin.

He's got 2 kinds of pain meds, and he'll need to go back in on Monday for a check up. We're supposed to just keep him calm and clean. Once he got home, he's just been hanging out next to me snuggled up on the couch. It's going to be a interesting couple of weeks. No jumping. So, I think I'll be camping out for awhile, as our bed is way too high, and I'm afraid he'd try and jump out/fall out in the middle of the night. Plus, we have to watch him like a hawk so he doesn't pull out his stitches/staples.

There is a part that's missing skin, and we have to watch out for necropsy, which would be bad, as that's more surgery but the vet said it would look like a step back, but it wouldn't be, as there would still be healing going on.

Thanks everyone for your well wishes. Please keep him in your thoughts, it's still going to be a long road.

Poor puppy!!! Glad he seems to be doing well after a few days.

I know you don't want the other dog put down, but any chance they cover your vet bills?
