@ 11 months: recovering after surgery #1


Bailey is back from surgery! He was recovering so well, or at least, he was moving around so much that he was released a day early. He was super hyper upon seeing us again; you really couldn't tell he had had major surgery two days before. The collar is a nice fashion statement, no?


I was requested to take a more dignified portrait of Bailey. You can see two of his three incisions here.


When someone licks his stitches too much, he gets the cone.
Someone hates the cone.


We thought Bailey might feel a little cold on his shaved side, but he doesn't seem to care for blankets or towels so much and prefers to chew on them instead.

Overall, Bailey seems to be feeling well, perhaps better than he really is. Sometimes we suspect he has a high pain threshold; it certainly goes up when he sees another dog and thinks he'll get to play. Sadly for Bailey, doctor's orders are no walking/horseplay for at least two weeks.
