I just talked to one of the techs at the clinic; Anvik's vet isn't in yet.

The surgery went well. Not sure how extensive the muscle damage was, but his intestine was not damaged. Have to talk to the vet later for details of the surgery. The extent of the muscle and surrounding tissue damage will determine how long it takes him to recover. Damage to the intestine could have killed him.

Anvik is quiet this morning, so he's definately hurting. He did eat some canned food and took his antibiotics like a good boy. He is really good about taking his pills. They have gauze wrapped around his side. He absolutely refused to have an e-collar put on. I'm kinda glad he did that. After his last surgery, he wouldn't let me put one on him either! At least it wasn't just me! I ordered a bite-not collar for him after the last surgery and he has a collection of jackets to wear when he's outside.

The tech thinks Annie will be able to come home tonight.
