Week 10 post op

Sula and Raven playing

 Week 10 and 8 for Raven.  The end seems so close, but it's still a month away.  Raven now has free roam of the bedroom at night, and most of the house is open to him off-leash.  The only reason the gates are still up is to keep Raven and Sula apart so that they don't play with each other without supervision...although they sometimes sneak by opening the gate..or crawling through the cat-door.

 Thankfully, Raven is eating more consistently, although we still feel like there's something wrong with his stomach.  He's not really gaining weight due to his lack of appetite, and his coat looks dingy since he's not eating his omega oils.  Today he trotted alongside me around 2 acres, twice.  We're trying to get him back into shape since his muscles are underdeveloped.

 Sula had a rough week. Her incision site developed big purple and red boils near her stitches, which swelled so big that they covered the incision and kept it wet.  We took her to the vet and he did a course of three laser treatments on the site, and prescribed antibiotics.  We also sprinkled the wound with ionic silver and talc powder to dry it out and prevent further infection.  Within a few days the problem cleared up.

Both Sula and Raven can't wait to finally play freely.
