Recovering - June 5, 2011

Poutine pooped for the first time after the surgery!!!!! We were worried that he might be constipated and unable to poo since he cannot squat. But last night, Poutine and I slept on the couch (he fussed less this time), he woke me up around 4:00 a.m. with his whimpering. I thought he was whining about his E-collar again, so I put him on my lap and patted him until he fell asleep. Then 15 minutes later, he woke up whining again. I put him back on the couch slowly, but rather than laying there like a log as he's been doing for the past 2 days, he straightened his hind legs so he was standing on the couch as I was putting him down. I looked at him and he started wagging his tail.

I suddenly thought maybe he wants to go poop! I put him gingerly on the training pad and he immediately went into a slight squatting position and 4 small poop came out! What a relieve!!!!!!

I will try and make him walk a bit today.
