Scotty dental 2

[elizilla]

Scotty had his dental surgery on Weds, as scheduled. They gave him a pain med that lasts four days. It has been making him crazy. It’s like a bad trip. He alternates between hiding, and pacing. The pacing is at speed, fast tiny steps, back and forth. Poor guy is scared every time something moves and yesterday I don’t think he knew us. He can’t have kibble for a couple weeks, because of the stitches. Wet food only. But It’s been hard to get him to eat. The canned food he ate with gusto before the surgery, is no longer pleasing.

But at least today he seems to know us, and once we turned most of the lights out, he has come out from under the bed. And he has consented to eat a little of his familiar kibble that we soaked in water for a couple hours to soften it.

Maybe we will get through this yet.
