Mum says she\u2019s never seen Alfie looking as sad as he did when he got home yesterday. With having both his paw and elbow operated on hi whole leg was uncomfortable and awkward. His bandage almost comes up to his elbow and then from there he\u2019s got some stitches on his elbow and it\u2019s the side he normally rests his head when he lies down, so he can\u2019t get comfortable. The lumps have been sent off for analysis and we\u2019ll hear what they are in the next couple of days. They definitely aren\u2019t fatty lumps, but we knew that already really. He has to keep off his leg as much as possible, so is only allowed to go out to go to the toilet. It also means Mum has to sit still next to him or he wants to move anyway. We\u2019re sleeping downstairs with him so he doesn\u2019t have to be on his own. He has to go to the vet again tomorrow to have his dressing changed on his paw. The rest of us have to be quiet and stay out of the way until he\u2019s a bit better, which is easier said than done. Last night he was all wobbly from his anaesthetic too, but that\u2019s starting to improve. The hardest bit at the moment is being told not to lick it. He says it\u2019s one of those things. He wouldn\u2019t have thought to lick it if no one had said anything, but now they\u2019ve put the thought there it\u2019s an all-consuming desire. He has a collar to wear if he starts licking, but he won\u2019t sit down while wearing the collar which means he puts pressure on his paw. He can\u2019t win. It works best as long as Mum is there to keep an eye on him at all times. To be fair, right now I think that works best for both of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
