I have no idea what the swelling is . It is still somewhat there but its not red or hot to the touch like fever . He still has no fever and he is eating all on his own now . He is pooping all normal . He is pretty active and even comes to sleep outside of his house now . He is looking so much better than he did last week at this time. I am still keeping a close eye on him . I do have one question about the yogurt . Is it ok to give that to him daily or should I cut back?

 ::silly::  I would not cut back, unless you just want to.  All of mine love it.  I pass it out like a treat sometimes.  You can use Popsicle sticks and dip the end of them in the yogurt, then let MeeKeeMoo have the stick and all.  Some of mine act like they've done something special when they get to 'steal' the stick.  I use to use the regular Popsicle sticks, then I found the mini ones in a craft store ... the chins seem to be able to hold them better ... then they get to use them as a chew stick, too.   :::grins::

I will have to try that Joann.

He is doing great . He is all active and bouncey . the swelling it almost all gone . He got to have a good dust bath yesterday which made him very very happy . He rolled and rolled for a good 10 minutes . He hadnt had one really since before the surgery. His eyes look bright . He perks up now though he is a little skiddish about the door being opened . I can understand . I mean for a week everytime we opened it were were pulling him out to stick something in his mouth .

So now I am working on letting him know just because the door opens it doesnt mean we are going to torture him.
