Chipper is home!

He's on antibiotics, pain meds, antihistamines, and has an ear ointment. The next couple of weeks are going to be fun.I have to also apply a warm compress to the ear twice a day.
He goes back Monday for a follow up. The bandage that is stitched to his ear will come off in about two weeks.
He's overall in good spirits, but of course hates the 'Cone of Shame', and wants to rub the ear on everything and anything.

I'm glad to hear that his surgery went well and that he's now back home.

Oh, Chipper, I know it's itchy, but if you are good boy, and leave the ear alone while it heals, you'll be back good as new in no time! Be patient with mama Kim as she gives you the medicine and the warm compresses, okay? I'll save a watermelon rind for you ....

Chipper had a follow up visit today.
The outside of his ear is healing well and the hematoma is draining properly. His ear canals are still pretty swollen though, so I need to apply the medication there.
His next checkup is this Thursday and Kia will also be dropped off that morning for her dental cleaning and possible tooth pulling.

Dropped Kia off at the vets this morning for her dental surgery. They said I could call after 2 for an update.

Today is also the day that my friend was killed by a drunk driver. I said a silent prayer to Jordan and Phred to keep an eye on Kia.

And this makes night number 3 that Chipper is spending at the vets.Miss my boy, but he's in pain & this is what's best for him.
The second surgery was successful though.

Kia is back at the vets. They'll redo the chest x-ray, then do the surgery if the infection is gone.
