Seven years with Toby, nothing. Seven months with Maddux, my first personal experience with the “cone of shame.” He wasn’t acting right last night and this morning, so I ran him to vet early this morning and while he was there he started fussing with the stitches. So, to play it safe, the vet decided… Continue reading The Cone Of Shame
Maddux is home! Believe it, or not, I think I am more nervous now than I was when he was at the vet’s office. He has pills to take twice a day, and has to eat 3-4 small meals of wet food a day for about 5 days. I think I bought out PetSmart today… Continue reading Puppy’s Stomach Surgery Aftercare
