He was very groggy after his anaesthetic and slept for most of the evening, but did keep giving out a pained cry every so often, only to be expected, he'll be very sore.
He had to have a collar on at bedtime to stop him licking or biting his stitches, he wasn't very happy but it'll do the trick.
He's more himself today, though he still keeps having a little cry, and he hates the collar. He doesn't have the stitches out until next Friday so he's got to wear it for a while yet.
Oh yes the collar - I remember Elsie our complicated German shepherd having to wear one - she was not happy and the matter wasn't helped by Jon laughing at her!

Archie is a little more himself now, though he still doesn't think much of having to wear the collar. I did feel very guilty having done this to him, but I'm sure it will be for the best in the long run. He has had lots of love and attention which he's lapping up. Rachel, I keep threatening the same thing!
