A Very Good First Night!!!

Tristan had a very good night, he slept through till 7am.I put an e-collar on him as a precaution. He seemed a little uncomfortable in the evening so I opted to give him a tramadol rather than start him back on his regular aspirin regime ( 1-325 mg Bufferin 2x per day) due to the little bit of bleeding he had yesterday. This morning he was still some what stiffer than normal which was probably due to all the extra activity yesterday along with the incisions in the groin area and his lack of aspirin since Monday. The incisions looked very good this morning and there was no more bleeding so I figured I would start him back with his aspirin along with amoxicillin, 500 mg`s 2 x per day. On his 2nd outing, he was just about back to 100%. So much so that he was after a piece of bird bread in the grass...got to love him!! He is a trooper!!! So the worst is behind us and the best is yet to come!!!
