Another Post-Surgery Update!

Hello all! Sarah here with an Eddie update! We are 5 weeks post-surgery now, and aside from a small hiccup a couple weeks ago we are nearly done with the healing process. I had to take Eddie back in 2 weeks ago to get a few stitches put back in. Despite wearing the cone o’ shame, he managed to figure out how to scratch his little stump on the couch and worked a few of them loose. The Doc was able to take many of the other stitches out when he did it though, so hopefully this weekend we will be getting the last few out!

Other from that, Eddie is doing great!  He is allowed to go on normal walks now, so we’ve been trying to do that a lot in order to burn off all of the extra energy he’s built up from being on restriction. Oh, and he is in desperate need of a real bath 🙂 So all in all, everyone is ready for the rest of his stitches to come out and the cone to be put away for good!  He is ready to get back to his normal life, taking trips to the farm and playing with his BFF and sister, Scarlet.

On a side note, we went to pick up his food on Sunday only to find that the pet store we get it from has gone out of business! And of course they were the only local store that carried his food. Fortunately, there is a really awesome holistic pet store just down the road that was able to order some. Unfortunately they can’t get it for the same price that the first store did. So, we are yet again in the process of changing foods, which we are a bit bummed about because he has been doing really well on his current food, and we haven’t had any more tummy troubles since we switched to it. But, the lady at the holistic store did the research for me and found that they carry a food that is extremely similar, and less expensive than ordering his current food from the manufacturer.   So, we’ll be giving Fromm a try … here’s hoping he does well on it too!

And here’s a new picture for everyone to enjoy 🙂

    Glad to hear that the bump in the road was just a small one! It’s tough to have to change foods and what a bummer that the store went out of business! But its wonderful that the other store was there.. what a relief for them to do the research for you!
