The Day After
On Friday (2/15/2013) the vet called us and asked us to come and visit our new tripawd Stormy.
On the way I was really apprehensive about seeing him. Of course I wanted to see him! But I was expecting a very sad Stormy, yelping and having to be carried around. I actually started crying happy tears when he walked (or hopped) in all by himself just a day after surgery!!
He wouldn’t stop walking around the examination table in the middle, even though he was whimpering a bit, but he was wagging his tail.
The girls who work there were laughing, saying he’s been pretty energetic ever since he woke up.
They decided to keep him to watch for infection and said it would be one night or three.
I was really apprehensive about touching him and the vet MADE me take him for a walk, which was terrifying. He always wanted me to carry Stormy out, but I ended up asking a vet tech to do it, too afraid I’d hurt him.
After the visit I felt 1000 times better about what the outcome of Stormy having the Surgery would be, especially because he was doing so well the vet tech kept questioning his age.
I assured him Stormy was born April 1998, 15 years ago this coming April 🙂
