A week and a half after amputation…

I haven’t posted in a few days as there hasn’t really been much to report. Lloyd hasn’t had another episode of coughing or whatever that was since Wednesday so we haven’t had to use the stronger pain killers. Which is good.

We did stop the lactulose as he was pooping ok and haven’t had a poop since.. which has made him a bit quiet again. So took him to vet this morning, they put a suppository up his bum and he pooped right there and then at the vets 🤦🏼‍♀️. At least they could see what he was passing and weren’t concerned so that was good too. 

He’s happier now he has pooped, is back home and was keen to get outside still. We put him on his lead and took him in the garden. I don’t like putting him on his lead at all but he can’t be trusted not to escape out of the garden so he has it for his own safety. He also doesn’t mind being on it so much now, he used to just lie down and not move but now he knows it’s this or nothing he’s happy when we put it on. He had a little explore of the garden and got a bit of fresh air which was nice.

Other than all of his problems pooping and coughing and whatever else he is fine in regards to leg. He’s still hopping about with no problems and jumping on and off things (with our watchful eye) I had to move his appointment for the removal of his sutures to Tuesday as they weren’t quite easy to come out so looking forward to that and the collar coming off.
