Pups are back home and doing well.

Naturally, they still feel sleepy after the anesthesia but after a small nap, they all be ready to have a small meal.

They were good patients and had lots of cuddles while recuperating - I love my vets!

Frankie was happy to rejoin with his siblings.
Some of you may feel that the pups are going home too soon after surgery but it is the best course of action.  If left here, they will wrestle, run and be too busy which is not good for the surgical site.  They would also be miserable if I crated them all day, so recuperating from their surgery with you is a prime way for them to bond, have loads of attention, get some supervised low key exercise and adapt to their new surroundings.  They heal very quickly but it is best to keep them 'low key' for about seven more days.  Yes, they can walk and even run but jumping is a no-no as well as excessive running.  This is the very best time to teach them sit, down and proper leash walking.  Have your treats ready!
