William was much improved yesterday afternoon but then had a bit of a rough night. I think it's just the after effects of the anaesthetic, but neither he nor I had a good night. I ended up getting up 5 times between midnight and 6.00 am to see if he needed to go in the garden, but most of the time he was just being restless without needing anything specific
.
However, he's still eating and drinking OK and the vet was delighted with him at his post op. check this morning, saying how well his tongue and gum are healing. He also said that he's removed a few lumps from dog's tongues over the years and they've all been harmless, so given the appearance of William's he's pretty sure it was too. So I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for the test results but not worrying as much as I was.
Right now William is looking very relaxed, alternating between sunbathing in the back garden and cooling off on the hall floor, so hopefully the anaesthetic after effects are wearing off.
Thanks for all your lovely comments
