Aw! Sympathies for the side-effect troubles. Poor guy.
One to two weeks out seems to be right around where many folks' recovering dogs take a turn for the tuckered-out, with the energy they used up in an early burst of recovery catching up to them. Not to mention the effects of tapering off pain management meds.
I hope he's had better luck with his digestive system! Hugs!

He's definitely perking up a little bit. I came home from work today and my wife was dragging him around the yard in the garden cart with his bed in it. Apparently she felt bad that he wasn't getting to visit his usual favorite spots in the yard and wanted to make sure he had a change of scenery!
he did play with his squeaky ball for a couple of minutes which was nice to see.
the stitches come out on Thursday So were hoping that puts him back on the fast track to his normal self.
OMD!!! You HAVE to get a video, or at least a photo, of Boomer being wheeled around in his Chariot!! I love that she did that! 'Did he seem to like it..........or more like tolerate it??
Just a gentle reminder that "some" dogs seem to really turn the corner when tne stitches are out, but itsw not alwaye that msgical! Some dogs, like my Happy Hannah, needed a bit more time to "turn the corner".
We'll be looking for that video!
Hugs!
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie too!
