Charlie came home at about 6pm. What a long, stressful, not fun at all day for him! But there is some good news too! When Markus went to pick him up, he asked about how the surgery went. They said beautifully, and that his intestine with all twisted/knotted, you get the picture. This is great news though since they didn't have to actually cut into any of his organs! This means that recovery will be just a bit easier, since they still had to cut through his stomach muscles and that hurts! But our little dude is home and asleep on a blankie on the floor...with his cone around his head.
We have to go in tomorrow for another IV and probably some meds, but maybe he'll get to eat something tomorrow! First time since Friday morning! The only thing is, we have to carry him everywhere...up the stairs, down the stairs, to his patch of grass to pee...thankfully, Markus is going to take him down the stairs and to the car tomorrow before he goes to work...and he'll most likely go to the vet with us...and Marianne is going to come up tomorrow while we're there to help out with Amelia. I'm so thankful that she lives so close!
Alrighty, that is all for today. I'm completely relieved that our little Charlie dude is back and that everything went as well as it did. He'll make a speedy recovery since that is just how he is. He'll be back being his old self in no time (but of course we'll limit him until he is truly ready for action).
