The Post TPLO Doldrums
Barlow is reaching around 10 days post-op and getting used to the routine despite the boredom. His “Big Red Bandage™” was removed on day 5 as per discharge orders. His staples (some 20) will be removed on Thursday afternoon if things stay on schedule.
Life is pretty dull for Barlow now. He goes outside with his sling and leash about 4 times a day to take care of business, but otherwise is confined to the cage. Lately, he has been taking his anti-inflammatory medication solely without the need for sedatives or additional pain medications, so hopefully his liver won’t fall out before he reaches middle age.

Glad to hear Barlow is getting better from his TPLO surgery. Maybe you can post an update when his healing has progressed further.
“”“hopefully his liver won’t fall out before he reaches middle age”“”
