Time goes by fast!
We got home with Oakley around 2pm after our car ride home. Oakley walked out of the vets on his own power until he got just outside the door where he decided it was time to sit down and rest. We picked him up, got him settled in the car, and home we went. He was very nervous and on-edge most of the trip but settled down near the end. He must have known we were headed home!
Once we arrived we carefully got him out of the car and into the yard. He immediately found a spot to take a pee which made us very relieved.
Once in the house, we got him settled and offered him some food and water which he gobbled up.
He came home with a small dressing on the surgery site for protection due to travel. We have since removed that and he did not have any discomfort with the process. He seems happy thus far and not in any noticeable pain. Was sent home with Rimadyl, Gabapentin, and Tranexamic Acid.
We plan to have a lazy afternoon and evening and then try to head outside one more time later tonight before bed. We are amazed at how well our boy is doing thus far and hope this trend continues.
