Today is 9 days post-op. Yesterday I removed Jake’s bandages… his incision looks good, except for a little redness and oozing from a small area. Last nite he hardly ever tried to lick at the incision… but when we went to sleep, we put on his E-collar, just in case!
This morning, Jake was hopping around in the kitchen. Still pretty slow, but hey… it’s only 9 days post his big surgery!
This morning we all enjoyed our coffee on the patio, before it got too hot and humid. Can’t stand this Florida weather!!! I removed Jake’s T-shirt (to wash it) and to let his incision start drying out.
Later on this afternoon, it was time for Wolfie to go play in the pool…
Poor Jake had to stay indoors, and watch. As soon as he heals, he is going swimming too! Here he is wearing his Kiss T-shirt.
Wolfie taking a break… and enjoying the hot sun!
Later on this afternoon, Jake did some more hopping around… a little faster now. He’s doing better and better! I’m so proud of my big boy!!
A Kiss T-shirt?!?!?! No way! Caira Sue never got anything half as cool! Shhhh-don’t tell her. She doesn’t wear t-shirts now and I don’t want to go back to cleaning her clothes with everyone else’s in the house!
Way to get your mojo going Jake! All that hopping around in the kitchen! ….and who’s that telling him to quit looking for food? We call Caira our broom! He’s just trying to say thanks by cleaning up your kitchen for you-ha!
Looks like you have a great set-up with the pool-can’t wait for Jake to get his paws wet!
Jake looks so happy! Even if he did have to watch all the pool fun.
Many thanks for upgrading Jake’s Journey to a Tripawds Supporter blog. You should notice a new Supporter Badge widget in your appearance menu to show your pride!
