1) No water/food tonight. No breakfast tomorrow, which Truman will think is the WORST part of his day.
2) Snow shouldn't stop either surgeon from Cornell (http://www.vet.cornell.edu/hospital/) or me from getting there.
3) He goes in at 8:15 am.
I get the call he is out of surgery with an update.4) Before I pick him up, I put Lenny in crate and put gates up to keep Darlene and Harley out of dog den, which Truman will be entering.
5) Daughter-in-law will sit in back of SUV with him on way home. Big blanket in back for both of them.
6)***This is the part I am visualizing so it is done correctly**** I back SUV up to driveway and at the PERFECT spot, where the height is only 15-16", I stop. We then put the new customized sling around him and while getting him to use his front legs out, guide the back end out. Offer him a spot to pee.
7) Walk him into dog den and have him lay on twin bed on his good side.
8.) Offer a little water. Offer a very little food. Hug him a lot. Repeat every hour.
9) Take photos. Let others sniff him because there is something about a dog returning from the Vet that has interesting smells.
10) Ice as the needed.
for our pony
