Post-Op

Joseph's surgery/neuter was successful. He's still a bit groggy and is upstairs asleep under the bed. At first, he thought he could walk around & shake it off, but no-go. He'll be fine in a few hours, and his pain meds are good through tomorrow. He'll be a new man! Altered, but new!

The Med Staff decided to re-chip him, so he's got TWO microchips! Lucky boy will never again be lost for long, as both are registered with the city. His new owner will also want to have his vet scan both of them for the records.

We've decided we're going to try some physical therapy exercises, stretches & range of motion activities for his front paw. It's definitely not something anyone wants to amputate. He often acts as though he really wants to use it, just isn't sure how. He'll love the extra attention & touches that will come with that.

Welcome back, Joseph!
