Thanks for asking PL He's quite distressed this morning unfortunately, neither of us had much sleep last night, only 2x half-hour naps. He was crying all night and I ended up giving him his painkiller a couple of hours early but it took over an hour before it calmed him. He's asleep at the moment through exhaustion I think, he's desperate to get at the wound and trying to get the collar off, whining and circling, bashing his testicles with the edge of the collar till they look quite red in his efforts to lick near the stitches. He hasn't yet accepted that he just has to put up with the way things are. I'm mixing his food with water to increase his water consumption, and he's had a few really good wees. He's also pooped but it's dreadfully splatty! He's awake again now and crying, bashing the collar around, it's all very upsetting but I'm sure he'll eventually settle and it's only for a few days and then he'll be all better again. |

Sorry to hear you've all had a bad night MrsH. Poor Morgan - I do hope he calms down as he can't be doing himself any good and it is obviously worrying you too. If he continues, I would phone the vet and see if you can give him any sort of tranquillizer to help calm him. I'm sure that splatty poo is an effect of the GA. |

Ouch, hope he feels a little more settled. Is there nothing that you can give him that take the edge off, I suspect he will gte used to it I think the collar is more irritating than anything but seems he needs this to stop him getting at the stitches. |

Bless you for sitting up with him, poor little chap sounds very unhappy. I know when my cats had their plastic collars they found this more distressing than any operation sites . . . hopefully this is causing him upset and will stop once collar comes off. Hugs and restful vibes to you both. |

A much better night last night. I slept on the floor in the living room again and he and I both got loads of sleep! although I kept getting a cocker in my face! The vet's very happy with him this morning, the swelling at the site is going down quite well and Morgan is much more relaxed and less needy. Spirits have risen in the house once again! |
