Thanks everyone for the great support for me and Cody. Went to see him after work yesterday. He was still groggy but he recognized me and wanted to go home with me. He whined a little as I left. :(. Called the vet this morning and she said he did really good last night, and very alert today. They are going to ween him off his IV pain meds/fluids and will see if he will eat today. If he eats and keeps it down he will come home today. My girl basenji is totally lost without her little brother. She's very depressed.

Vet called me at lunch. I can pick him up at 6:20 tonight. He is off of his IV's, ate some can dog food is up walking around. They took him out and he went potty. Seems very alert. I can't wait to pick my baby boy up tonight! I asked the vet nurse that was there yesterday, how many staple/stitches. He said "a lot" at least 30 staples.

OMG I am so happy to get this email about your update. Awesome news. I bet you and your hubby are some happy folks right about now…

i'm glad he's on the mend; hopefully he won't be a Frankendog too long.

That is great news…. that is about how many Kristii had both times for surgery... once for the object stuck and then 7 months later for a Liver Tumor.... Her new name became "zipper" belly.... cut stem to stern..... That was one of the reasons that I did the home made e-collar... worked great....

Congratulations!! And a big baroooo for Cody.
I'm sure now that he'll be feeling better your next post might be 'how do I keep this little beast quiet' (or stop him from jumping, rough housing, running, etc, etc, etc,…)
I'm so very happy this all turned out well.

Well, Cody came home last night. My B-girl Aurora was happy to have her housemate home again. She sniffed him all over as soon as we walked in. Of course the vet was like no running, jumping up on stuff and going up an down stairs. There are stairs everywhere in my house. He has to go down a flight of stairs on the deck just to go potty in the back yard. He's in a lot of pain so I have heavy duty pain meds, and a lot of other drugs. We are not out of the woods yet. I have to be on the look out for any signs of leakage around the wound, fever, weaknes, any signs that something has gone wrong inside and its not healing. Once he had his pain meds last night he was very snuggly with me on the couch.

So happy to hear that he is home again. Cody is in our thoughts, I have told my kids all about poor Cody's missfortune, and every morning they want to know if I have heard anything, at night my 9 yr old prays for his swift recovery. He is definitely in our thoughts.
