Merlin again

[Cath]

We used a blanket to get our old dog Robbie out of the car, like you said taking two corners each and lifted him out.
We left him on the blanket on the kitchen tiled floor and he was fine. When he woke up, he was a bit woozy, but he managed to get out into the back garden to do a wee.

Just a thought @MellowYellow, I would get another person if possible to help with the middle part of the blanket because of the weight.

I've had to do this with Rory as he just looses the plot and gets mega upset when he starts to come round. The vets/ nurses learnt the hard way as they didn't believe me I told them I will be in so ring if you have too. They rang as he was screaming the place down so I had to go and comfort him and them. They use different sedatives with him now so it's ok but I do have to go and get him early. Merlin may well be able to walk with support you'll just have to lift him. Rory just wants to sleep and I don't worry about toileting too much but keep him warm. I send food with him and he's always managed to eat it before I get there. He's just very very vocal and upset. It's a very quick op really and they do recover quickly.

Seems strange that they are going to operate straight away, usually a pre-med. I found that Rourke was very vocal after the op due to the anaesthetic. Although it will be lovely to have Merlin home, I do think it is ridiculously quick to discharge him so soon.

Thank you that's all very helpful

We did a nice walk and took a couple of little dummies with us for a bit of retrieving (Merlin) and searching (Poppy). They loved it.

Hunter is also a looney tune when he starts to come around and I was there last time. He was surprising quickly upright on all fours. Ask the vet what is the best way to get him in and out of the car when you take him home.
for today x

Thinking of you today. x

 

[MellowYellow]

He is home! He could walk, albeit a bit wobbly, so we just had to lift him into and out of the car.

Glad he's OK, even if he does look rather sorry for himself. Hope you feel much better soon, Merlin.xxx
