The Chew came home from the vet's office today at lunch. He is furious that we have to (try to) keep him calm. All was well with the surgery. He has staples in several spots on his belly (they had to do explorative surgery to find his missing testicle) and staples on both rear ankles from the removal of his 3 dew claws.
We are now in the strugle to keep him from blowing out his stitches in the next 7 days. Good luck to us, since his ankle has already oozed today.
Oh, by the way, the cone is virtually useless. He still manages to get to his belly and feet. Sigh.

Forget pain meds. They needed to send him home with some valium.
Absolutely! He is crazy hyper tonight.
Yay for surgery going well! Did they tell you where they ended up finding his testicle?
Also, I'm glad to see we're not the only one who have conversations in the comments section of our blogs. Hee!
If he can still reach his belly and his feet - get a bigger cone! Afterall, if he can't get through the doorway he's guaranteed to be quieter. Or not.
Danielle, yes. It was the strangest thing. It was in one of his front legs. (Feel free to interpret that as a "no, they didn't.") Also, when we had that conversation via comments, we were in the same room about 10 feet away from each other.
Laziest, The bigger cone is planned for tonight. It's too bad we got rid of Booker's old cone when we moved. For now, Chewie is crated and the smaller cone is enough to keep him from licking while he's crated.
Actually, he can lick while in the box. I saw him do it this morning. To be more exact, I heard it first then saw it.
