Hey all! Domino is home! 

He's doing really well. He's already eaten for me once, he's on soft food and partial hand feeding but he's already wanting to eat from a bowl on his own. He's drinking water ok, he just makes a little bit more of a mess than normal lol. He seems very comfortable and not in any pain. His face/chin is very swollen, but the doctor said that should go down in a day or two. He's currently on a fentanyl patch, rimadyl, gabapentin, and clindamycin. We'll start tramadol on Saturday when the fentanyl patch comes off. 

I'm actually almost shocked at how good he looks. The doctor didn't need to shave any hair, and other than the swelling he looks fairly normal. His jaw does drift to the side, but its actually kind of cute lol. We've got a careful few days ahead of us, but so far so good. He's resting comfortably right now. I do have to work this afternoon, but he'll only be by himself for a couple hours until my roommate comes home. I'll keep him crated with his e-collar on for safety.

Hey all!! Sorry for going a few days without an update. In order to be off the day of Dom's surgery I had to work 2 back to back 12 hour shifts Thursday and then Friday. I finally have 2 days off to spend with my boy.

His recovery is going great! The swelling in his jaw and cheek is finally going down and he's looking more "normal" lol. Now that the swelling is going down his tongue is definitely starting to hang out more often, but its super cute. He's acting much more like himself, and wanting to play and hang out with the rest of the pack. 

I took his fentanyl patch off this morning and started him on his tramadol, and his pain still seems to be very well controlled. We did go through an episode of nausea and burping, so he's been on Convenia for the past 2 nights and thats really helped. I still am not brave enough to look in his mouth lol. Other than looking at his reduced canine I really havent seen much. He's still eating great and is almost back on his normal kibbled softened with water.

Im still super nervous about the biopsy, but whatever happens we'll deal with it.

It's so nice to have him back to his normal self, I know he'll be happy when he can get out of the cone of shame and back to play time. As of today we are 4 days post of and I'm absolutely amazed at how well he is recovering. I never would have imagined it would go this well. So fingers and paws crossed that it continues!!

Cassie and crooked faced Domino!
