We woke Bear up for meds and to try to get him to eat. He wasn't very interested in food, but drank a little. Then we took him out.
He peed A TON and wet his harness. His vet said that might happen because it (unfortunately) goes across his penis. We're putting it in the wash. I think he's only going to need it for 2 weeks, so I'm debating whether we need to get a second one for him. He also pooped. It looked like a struggle because he can't really bend his knees much to get the correct posture - not that he ever could. He always seems to have those struggle poops, but hopefully not once his knees are healed.
He walked around more than I thought he would. Shaun ended up carrying him back in. Thankfully, Shaun can hoist him easily with one arm.
I cleaned him up with some wipes after we got him in. He's currently resting in the floor in front of the couch. We don't want him jumping off and messing up his new knees. He also seems more comfortable down there, anyway, since the couch throws him down constantly. 😂
I think as long as we keep him medicated and support him when he walks, this will be ok. So far, he mostly sleeps and rests, and that's what he is supposed to do. The only complaint I have is that he could have let us know he needed to go out, but he didn't. I feel terrible that he needed to use the bathroom for who knows how long and just held it. But we'll get him on a schedule to make sure that doesn't happen again.
