Frankenstein's pet

Jackson came through the surgery just fine and is home resting now. I feel just awful for him as he has a drainage tube where the incision is to keep the area free from infection but it's hanging out of his bum so he keeps assuming the defecation position. So sad. There's not much blood but the area looks like its been butchered. It's probably just the swelling, shaving, sutures and dried blood but what a mess. He will have heavy pain medication as well as antibiotics for 5 days and a cone for 15, until the stitches come out. His appetite is as robust as ever which is a good sign but he does whimper now and again breaking my heart each time. I've been keeping a warm compress with peroxide on the area trying to keep him comfortable and of course he can still roll over for belly rubs. Never too down and out for that! I hope he'll fight through this thing and give us more joyful time.
