# day after koda's surgery ( + a few nikki/sachi pics) update(mar8th)

So our Koda just got neutered yesterday, the vet told us there was a tiny common complication, but all is good and he should make a speedy recovery.(Just the usual, no walks or swimming for 10 days.) I feel bad for my big boy though, since the day hes been home, there has always been a bright goofy…

So our Koda just got neutered yesterday, the vet told us there was a tiny common complication, but all is good and he should make a speedy recovery.(Just the usual, no walks or swimming for 10 days.) I feel bad for my big boy though, since the day hes been home, there has always been a bright goofy smile on his face (even after hes just been punished), hes always so chirpy, running all over the house and being a klutz. But when we picked him up yesterday, though he managed to wag his otter tail, he was just so out of it. He was still bleeding a lil when we got home, but the vet told us not to worry if its just a lil. So last night he wouldn't potty when i let him out, he held it in and i guess he couldn't hold it any longer during the night & just let it all go in my kitchen where hes separately from nikki/sachi. He is a tiny bit better today but hes just not Koda. Ive been through this process with nikki just 6 mths ago but it still breaks my heart a lil. Here are some pics.. my happy goofy boy b4 the surgery depressed koda so i thought ill get him a lil cake from the doggy bakery today still looking kinda sad after he had his cake thought ill buy my shiba babies something too nikki with her cookie sachi with her cookie i love this pic of sachi, she was so confused happy girl koda is all good now, not exactly back to his usual self though. hes been more rambunctious and hyper. hes chewed up his cone, ripped off his collar, put a whole in the vacuum again :/, destroyed his food/water bowl and chewed up my cabinets. i guess maybe the hormones are adjusting in the body or something? but theres no way hes more settled & calm aft being fixed. koda koda koda

Aww! Give lots of hugs to Koda for me! Poor thing, he even looks sad with his cake.

Koda is a good looking boy, the Shibas are good looking too. I'm sure Koda will be back to himself in no time.
