My sweet Fritz had his knee surgery on the 29th. He's been such a trooper.

What a sweet boy. Did he have LP?

kjc · 04-01-2014, 04:58 PM

Aw! He's looking pretty good!

Fritz n Sophie · 04-01-2014, 05:20 PM

No, not LP. He over shot the back of the sofa and sailed over it onto the hardwood floor. Very traumatic! He never yelps or cries and he went nuts yelping. It was just awful!

Sweet boy, happy to hear surgery went well. Wishing Fritz a full recovery.

Thank you so much. I actually figured out a way to get rid of the cone when I'm home with him. I bought him some PJ's and put a patch on the right knee area. He can't chew though it and the surgery area gets air. He's able to eat and drink and of course lay more comfortably in my lap all day.

I'm glad he gets some freedom from the cone. When Max had to wear a hard cone for his eye problems, I gave him as many breaks as possible. He spent a lot of time on my lap, and at night I would hold him until I couldn't keep my eyes open. Then I would put the cone on him and sleep for a couple hours. The things we do for these babies!

Best wishes for your little guy. Tell him no more Evel Knievel jumps.

Seriously! No more flying! After he got fixed years ago I swore I'd never put that horrible nightmare of a cone on him again. I made him a soft cone. Much more comfortable than those awful hard cones. Really easy to make. Here's what it looks like.

Great job! Cute too. We actually have a soft Kiss-E Collar from Hot Rod's Mom that Max used as soon as he didn't require the hard collar anymore. The hard collar was necessary to prevent him from mashing his face to try to scratch.

Aw poor baby, I'm glad the surgery went well. I hope that he has a fast and full recovery.
