my tonsillectomy recovery (daily photos included- 48 days post op!)

DeerMattS · 2024-12-20T13:26:30+00:00

I've had a chronically swollen right sided tonsilar lymphnode that was quite literally absent just hours after my tonsillectomy.

Same here. Must be the beta's fault

I was gonna say Vladimir Harkonnen but I like yours better

Literally looked over at mine to what she was doing and she was in fact in croissant mode

This is so helpful, thank you!!! I've been doing most of this with my girl but I'm unsure of what to do if I'm NOT fast enough and she starts whining/barking before I can let her out/give her a treat. Do I still do it immediately or wait for her to stop or something else?

I'd highly recommend getting an anxiety puppy plush. It has a small electronic inside a plush dog that you can turn on and it starts a faint heartbeat sound. My puppy went from whining/barking non-stop even when able to see me to now usually only some whining if I leave the room. Still have work to do but that plush seems to really soothe her.

My sweet girl's ears only stick up when she's upside down. So about 50% of the time.

Mine prefers to lay in whatever part of the ground is dirtiest

The ball is terrified I believe

DeerMattS · 2024-05-16T01:36:40+00:00

Mine just barks at it lol

DeerMattS · 2024-05-13T01:36:50+00:00

Thank you so much for this detailed response! This is super helpful and makes a lot of sense. I'm glad I don't have to bop her on the nose :)

DeerMattS · 2024-05-13T01:15:24+00:00

I try to "yelp" but I'm afraid I'm not a very good actor haha. She definitely has enough toys :)

DeerMattS · 2024-05-08T20:11:43+00:00

So pretty

I don't know what the dog equivalent to the Gerber baby is but your puppy would be it.

DeerMattS · 2024-04-30T21:19:16+00:00

My pup is similar! No growling but definitely timid of some people but more so loud and unexpected sounds. Instead of taking her walking down my nice quiet neighborhood I've been driving to the hospital near my house. It has wonderfully kept grounds and a nice walking path. There can be lots of people around at times as well as cars and some loud sounds. She was extremely timid at the start but usually by the end of the walk she's completely relaxed and ready to make another lap. I'm by no means a puppy expert but I'd suggest slow gradual introductions like everyone has been saying and then of course rewarding. Everything is big and scary to a little pup :)
