Melvin went to his post-op appointment today. He was able to get his sutures out and strut his stuff in the office. He acted all goofy for about 3 minutes with the Vet and then decided enough was enough and just laid down and stared at him while he kept talking.
Basically, Melvin's esophagus and heart are good. There is a time frame that will be needed to have his esophagus work more efficiently so we will have to progress his food to dry food slowly and only if he isn't throwing up.
He is free to play and walk around now, just nothing strenuous like rough housing or chasing balls. I say this as I see him finally getting to play with my two dogs under my feet!
Melvin did show his funny side today with grabbing a raw potato out of my pantry and bowling with it down my hallway. He kept pushing it with his nose until it rolled and then would attack bounce if it went too far. We were all laughing!
We did have a little skin scrape done by the vet for a dry skin area and he will need some medication for a short stint, but that was the worst of it! Yay Melvin!
He has his fundraising event this Saturday, so please plan on coming!
