Tomorrow is the big day. I couldn't sleep last night. I did make a list of questions for the vet today. I'm waiting for them to call right now. Of course now I'm tired...lol!
So my list...Can you think of anything else?
Confirm NO Ketamin (what will be used)
Confirm NO Metacam (what will be used)
Do I give him his antibiotic in the morning
When should I give him his last dose of Morphine (should I note the time)
Only give him half (2 units) his insulin at his usual breakfast time (8am) but no food
Confirm he CAN have water until morning but no food after 8pm
Do I bring a blanket for him (confirmed a warm shirt already)
Do I bring some of his regular food
His surgery is around noon, what time can I check on him
What should I expect when I get him home
Will he have any special needs
When can he eat?
Do I give him dinner and his full dose (4 units) of insulin at his usual time (8pm)
He will be in surgery for quite awhile. The vet said removing the toe isn't that complicated. The problem is it's an inner toe and the bone above it is infected as well. He said if it had gone any further he would have had to refer me elsewhere.
He said I will be able to pick him up tonight.
I will be so glad when it's over with! So will Shiva... he's getting REALLY tired of the bandages. I can tell he's in pain... it makes me want to cry. I hate it when my babies don't feel well...but being in pain... my poor Shiva. I just keep telling myself it will be all over with soon and he'll be on the road to recovery.
