Grady came home from the hospital today. We are supposed to keep him *quiet* for the next 6 - 8 weeks, while that bone heals.

They gave us Metacam for discomfort - once a day.

We got him settled into his cage, and it's been downhill since then. He tries to free himself from the cage; scoops the litter out of the pan; howls. I did contact our Vet, and got some Acepromazine to sedate him. And it does work, but this poor 2 year old male cannot be comatose for the next 6 weeks.

We took him out to eat and give me time to clean up his mess. He walked right over to the back door.

Anyone have any suggestions? It's only been 12 hours with him home, and I'm ready to move out myself.

I feel so bad for him, and so frustrated.
