Wound healing nicely

Jazz ignored Fiona's advice about severely restricted excercise and greeted the postman rather over-enthusiastically yesterday morning ... more or less vertically and well off the ground!

We went for a check-up with Fiona last night, and true to form, he's not reacting as expected ;-) (I suppose we should have expected that!)

At least this time it's a nice surprise in that the operation wound is healing much better than Fiona would have expected (especially after all the complications with the same operation 2 and a half years ago). As far as we can tell there are no ill effects from his close encounter with the postman. Actually, the wound looks lovely and clean, so I don't think there's any more need to bandage it overnight, as he hasn't shown any signs of worrying at it.

She's now happy for him not to be on severely restricted exerice any more - trotting on the lead or flexi is fine, as long as he doesn't go chasing balls or romping with other dogs.

I think the incontinence drug is helping a bit, but we'll try upping the dose from 2 to 3 times a day to see if that helps too. It's a bit difficult to tell, as we haven't had all that many opportunities for him to be in the house without nappies in the last few days. The leaking seems to be reducing, although his bladder capacity is still small, even if he does seem to be slightly more in control of it.
