Dado de Alta!!! Staples are out :)
The staples are out; the limited-excercise period is over; the happy dog is back!
The vet said that Milo's incision healed beautifully and that since Milo seems to want to run around, he should! He confirmed that Milo's eye will slowly go back to normal. Our major concern now is his golden leg. The vet told us that since the growth that he removed was in a place with very thick skin, it takes a while to heal. He also said that since Milo is not putting any weight on it, we should not worry too much about it, but to keep it clean and prevent him from licking it. He did not put a bandage on it since it is the one good leg and he did not want to make Milo uncomfortable.
We went to the Animal Medical Center with a van service, and the driver, un paisano, had to lift Milo to help him inside the van. On the way back, I took a regular yellow cab and Milo had absolutely no problem getting on or off the cab. Yeah!!!! I guess it's a good thing we don't own an SUV or a mini van.
Milo seems happier now that the staples are out. In a few minutes, we will go out for a full round around the block... for the first time in 2 weeks!
