We just visited Jake a little less than 24 hours removed from surgery. He looks really good for a dog who just had brain surgery. Dr. Pluhar was also very happy with his condition so far. He definitely recognized us when she initially brought him out. He started jumping in her hands and looked happy to see us. He is walking fine, eating and drinking. He obviously doesn't look like he wants to be there but other than that he's doing great. He won't be making any dog friends still. Tumor or not he hasn't forgotten that he dislikes other animals. We decided to let him stay 1 more night even though Dr. Pluhar said we could take him now. We just feel more comfortable letting him stay in the hospital where he is in good hands for 1 more day. The plan is to visit him once more tonight, then pick him up in the morning and go over all his discharge papers and medicine. It was good to see him up and about and I know each day he'll be more like himself.
