Day 2 Post-op

Moose seems to be doing pretty well on this 2nd day after surgery. His incision looks good and there does not seem to be much of the swelling or bruising that the doctor told me to expect.
He is not showing any signs of being uncomfortable and has stopped all crying and whimpering unless he wants out of is pen. He is walking pretty well for short periods but still limps some and will hold it completely off the ground occasionally every now and then. As youcan see in the video he will actually stand on his bad leg and lift the good one to pee which he could not do before the surgery. For the next two weeks he can only come out for a leashed walk in the back yard only long enough for him to potty then it is back in so I think he is pretty bored. I am giving him his kibble in smaller amounts throughout the day and it is stuffed into a Kong that takes him about 20min to get out so he has a few of those to look forward to too. It is hard to see him cooped up but he is doing so well that I need to fight the urge to let him do more!
He is using a 'Pro-Collar' instead of the typical cone shaped collar to prevent him from licking his incision. I do not want to put the cone on him since he is in such a confined space but unfortunately I may have to since the pro-collar only makes it a little more difficult to get to his leg. definitely not impossible!
