I separated his doses of gabapentin and buprenorphine. I actually waited on his middle of the night dose of buprenorphine until 8 this morning. He slept after his 2am gabapentin.

Good job!

has anyone else's cat wanted to play the day after surgery????

Purrkins jumped up into the window the first day home but could not even walk, so yes:) Of course, we had restrictions, no jumping, limited activity, etc., but he was faster than i was. This was the last thing i expected when he could not even take a step. BOINK!

If you can contain Lucky to that room, i WOULD!

All cats, all species are different, just like us humans;)

He found a small ball that I had neglected to pick up in my room preparation and was batting it around. Not sure what to make of this!

nothing to make of this. Lucky being a cat! You smile and say that's my Lucky's sparkle coming back;)

Hugs
Holly & Purrkins💝💝💝

Good job! 
Oh yes, it is a chore we all know! Having 3 does nothing but speed them up;)

Best of Luck, Barb, and i say that with a big grin, ok:) It was a chore for us with Purrkins, too; he insisted he needed to be out of his recovery room, but we are the humans. Yes, it tears at us, but it is for Lucky to heal.

I did carry Purrkins and took him outside for some fresh air, but that was in July;) Do keep him contained until the vet says he is free to be a cat! 

Do you have food puzzles or anything to keep him low key entertained?

Hugs & scratches & smooches to Lucky; he is adorable!
