Reading about it is one thing but going through it is another...Baxter was neutered yesterday

Even though I have owned dogs in the past all of them were neutered before I adopted them including Jake so Baxter is my first. Let's just say I am still in my pajamas and it's after 2 pm...lol. Even though we are in the same room and I've been watching him like a hawk he must have gotten to the surgery site because it started bleeding. The blow-up collar is not working as well as I had hoped so I've added another neck pillow until I get to the store. The boys underwear I bought is too small so I've jury rigged an old t-shirt of DH's.

Awwww Baxter looks so cute in his unhappy state. Mojo was neutered last Monday and was licking and scratching at the stitches so he wore a blowup cone and one of my shirts fashioned into pants. It was hell taking the pants off and on to potty ass he fought me and ran off with several times but they did prevent him from getting at the site. It was hard also keeping him from jumping and bouncing off the walls. I stopped using the cone and shorts on day 6 with out any issues. Today is day 8, he seems totally healed so we went for a walk and trying to get back to normal. I hope Baxter heals fast.

Baxter is just so cute even if he does not think so at the moment. This is only one week in the life and hopefully he will make it through without any more irritation to the site. Hang in there!
