Wow...I knew this would take a lot out of him...we took him yesterday morning and the vet was done in less than an hour...I got to hold him while he was injected...he threw up a few times on the ride home and once more in the afternoon and then slept pretty much the whole day and night...he lost control of his bladder once (which is strange cause he hadn't had any water since the night before) but regained control later that night. He is wearing those ridiculous collars cause he made a few attempts to lick the area with it off and I didn't want to take a chance that he would rip out his stitches...he is starting to adjust to the shield, but he still bumps into every door frame and piece of furniture...after wearing it for a week, he'll probably give everything a wide berth for awhile. Is there anything to expect over the next week? That is, anything unexpected...
