Our little vicodin boy!

We wanted to give you all an update on Tyson! Kyle picked him up last night around 5:00, and when he brought him home Tyson barely recognized me! He was SOO out of it. The vet told us that when Tyson woke up from the surgery he immediately wanted to play, so they had to give him an extra dose of the sedative. Poor guy!

Once he came home we had to block off the water from him... unfortunately that's the ONLY thing he wanted (must have been a side effect from the drugs). Finally around 7:00 he could drink & eat a little bit, so that made him happy! During this whole process our doorbell rang, and there was our neighbor, Serina, with a sweet little present! Her & her husband, Chris, are fellow animal lovers and have really helped out in the past with watching the cats and taking out Tyson for us when we can't make it home in time! Anyways it was a sweet note written from their border callie "Bella"... we were blown away with how thoughtful she was!
Today he's been doing great, but he's whimpering a little from the pain.
He's not licking his incision at all so that is very good news... no e. collar needed! We could finally give him another pain pill tonight, and he returned to his normal self! (with a few quirks)

We wanted to show you guys though how he acts when he's on these pain pills... it is just hilarious! For example, when we give him a bone WE NEVER see him anymore until it's done. He will go lay on his bed and eat the entire thing, never getting up in the process. Well when we gave him a bone this time all he wants us to do is play with him with it. He's not even eating it! haha how we love our little vicodin boy :)
