Hey all, sorry I haven't been on here in a bit! So we're not entirely sure if Tank is out of the woods yet with his incision area, since of course we don't really know how he got it to begin with. He got his drain out about 2 weeks ago I believe, and yesterday he finally got his stitches taken out! Woohoo! The incision area actually looks really good and that area is starting to grow hair again. He's in good spirits, he was super happy to see us yesterday it was crazy! But he was a bit loopy because they sedated him to take the stitches out. So having him in the car on the way home was a job in itself. He has been scratching his ears and constantly shaking his head for weeks now. Apparently he had a yeast infection, which I would have never thought of. He isn't scratching his ears as much as he's on 3 medications (yeah, all for his ears!). So now that's taken care of as well and that should heal up fine, thankfully.
Overall he's doing very well. No more bread thievery when we leave the house, lol! The only thing he seems to do when we leave the house is bark (unless either my mom or I are home). Because when we're out of the house my sister and brother both said he just walks around and barks the whole time we're gone. But when it's one of us home and everyone else is out, he's totally relaxed. I guess he identifies with my mom and I as being "caretakers," if you will. Since he sleeps in my room and I help with his needs, and of course my mom is with him the most during the week especially since the days I have class I am here from 10am-4:30pm. So I guess it makes sense that he would have some type of anxiety when we leave the house. Other than that, no destruction, trash is away now when we leave and steps are blocked off so he doesn't go upstairs and tear our rooms apart (he started pulling clothes out of my brother's closet a few weeks ago!).
So once again, sorry I haven't been on here in a little while! I have time to kill in between classes right now (next one isn't for another 30 mins) and figured now would be a good time to come on and update!
