Milo's first day at home


Milo's vet called this morning to ask how he spent his first night at home. Milo woke up at 3 AM with pain but eventually fell asleep once one of us sat with him. He woke up today at about 9 AM.

Milo is walking without our help. His appetite is coming back. He is becoming the Milo we always knew (or at least that's what we want to believe). We are feeding him chicken and can food because those are his favorite foods. We feed him dry food as well but he takes it only if we give it to him in his mouth. That's Milo!

Today Milo had some visitors (Samantha and Daisy's humans). That really cheers him up! He loves getting attention. He also received a care package from another friend. He got treats, get-well cards, toys, balls, magnets, and other fun stuff.

He really enjoys being outside. Too bad he is not supposed to be moving too much. Milo hurts himself when he lies on the wound, so we have to turn him every now and then.

He has been drinking a lot of water and releasing, but he hasn't had any bowel movement since we brought him home. I think that is one of the side effects of the medication plus he probably hasn't eaten solid food since the day of the accident (Saturday).

We are also putting ice patches on his wound to help with the healing and swelling. We took off his drug patch today.
