Tai is recovering from minor surgery to have a pad on one of his back feet stitched closed. We don't how the injury happened, but he came limping into the house yesterday with the inner tissue of his foot pad oozing out of a gaping cut. So off we went to see the vet.
He was given an injection to put him out, but it didn't take. Neither did the second shot. The third one finally knocked him out. When we picked him up a few hours later, he was only fractionally awake but was trying desperately to walk or crawl, though his limbs wouldn't cooperate. Talk about acting like a zombie.
He slept on the bed during the night so we could keep a close watch on him. Fortunately he slept well all night, moving around only a little. In the morning, he was still pretty dopey. I guess it will take time for all that anesthetic to work its way out of his system. And during the day, he did hobble around a bit, even peed and pooped. He must still be quite uncomfortable, though, because he has been growling at the customers who come into the restaurant. I would too if my foot were really sore.
Hopefully this all passes quickly.
