Peg Leg Leo - home from surgery

Leo is home and resting.  When he saw me at the vet's office, he was so excited and didn't want to stop licking my face!  He is so cute and it was good to see him in the same good spirits he's always in!

Leo in the back seat coming home from the vet with a temporary cast and a bandage on the front leg where he had the anesthesia:

He doesn't seem to be in pain, check out the position of his hind legs! 

It's funny too, upstairs without carpet, I can hear him following me with his little peg leg. :)  He is also shaved very close so his soft tail tickles his own backside such that he'll whip around and start chewing - but just to scratch the itch.  Poor little guy.

He wears the temporary cast for 2 days then gets fitted for a custom brace which will be ready next week.  He'll have to wear that for 6-9 weeks and he's not supposed to run, jump, use stairs or rough house.  All the things he loves to do each and every day.  Unsupervised I'm supposed to confine him to a small room or cage so that he doesn't do any of the above.  He also came home in a cloth cone because he can't chew his cast but it doesn't seem to bother him yet.

I gave him his 2 daily pain medications and now he is sleeping....

This is an itemized list of what was required for the surgery:
