Been a week since the surgery and it’s healing well. I was a bit concerned about some discharge this morning but texted a photo to the vet who thinks it looks fine :db:

If you’re curious you can see photos of the hole here but *don’t* click if you’re squeamish!! http://silkyraven.livejournal.com/414360.html

He has been very touchy about having it cleaned but that’s been lessening over the past few days so hopefully that means it’s less painful for him. He certainly seemed bright in himself this morning – he’s back out in the field overnight in his usual routine which helps.
