Mike Is Doing Great After Surgery

Mike after surgeryOnly an hour after I got home from the vet, Dr. Katie called to say that Mike had come out of surgery just fine. When I went to the office to pick him up, he was up and around, busy chewing on a cardboard tube with his brother Toby. :)

When we got home, Mike went into the corner and collapsed, exhuasted from his busy day. He was obviously a little bit uncomfortable after surgery, but after sleeping through most of the afternoon, he's up and around. He's busy eating snacks and chewing on cardboard tubes tonight.

He's a little curious about his shaved belly, but the vet used internal, self-dissolving stitches, so he can't tear them out.

I took the photo above about 20 minutes ago. You can see that Mike is up and around. A few minutes ago, Mike and Toby took turns grooming each other. Right now, Mike is happily chewing on a cardboard tube. It looks like his recovery is well underway. :)
