I got there at the beginning of visiting hours today to check in on the little guy. He was happy to see me but was in obvious discomfort.
After talking to the staff for a bit, it sounded like Paco's throwing up might be more from excitement than anything else. They changed his iv, he threw up, and then he promptly got excited and threw up any time someone walked in the room. If you have the pleasure of knowing Paco, that makes sense.
He wasn't eating but the tech brought in some food to see if he'd take some from me. At first he was disinterested, but then he tried a bite. And then he cleaned his plate and begged for more.
Even though it's obvious he's in a lot of pain, he was really excited to see a familiar face. He was wagging his tail and whining until he eventually passed out, at which point he was escorted back to his kennel. The incisions look good and clean and the only thing I regret is not requesting an awesome Kid N Play-esque pattern in his ass.
Maybe when it grows in. . .

Hey Ana, it sounds like the worst part of it is over and now Paco just needs to rest. Hope he's better soon.

hey paco's mom, I think it is great how much you have done for and are willing to do for your little buddy. I am glad Paco is doing well and made it thru the surgery ok.
I'm so happy to hear that Paco is eating . . . it looks as if he is on the road to recovery. He is often in my thoughts and I check your blog every night for updates. I know you must busy with Paco AND running a business, but thanks SO MUCH for keeping us posted. BTW, how is the fundraising going? Need more help?
Ana, thanks so much for the update and pics, we've been thinking about you guys. Sounds like Paco's off to a good recovery - very good news that he ate for you. Our boy had to stay at the hospital a couple of extra days because at first he wouldn't pee and they couldn't let him go home till he did. I know that heartbroken feeling you get when the vet says your buddy has to stay an extra day. Hang in there, hugs to you guys. :-) Pam
