Today Power had surgery to fix the tear in his skin. While he was there I got out an old sweatshirt, cut the sleeves off, and made a strap to tie over his hips . When I went to the Vet's office to pick him up, he was still sleepy, and yet he was able to walk with a bit of help. He had a rather vacant look in his eyes! The vet lifted him into my car, but when I got home to the motorhome, my friend Carol came over to help me get him out of the car and into the motorhome. I did most of the lifting, but needed help holding doors, leashes, etc. Power was a real sweety. He didn't make things more difficult by screaming, kicking, biting, or collapsing. I've had other dogs do those things.
After getting him inside, I put his sweatshirt pants on him and he tolerated them well.
I hoped that the strap over the back would keep them from sliding off, but found that after about an hour he was having them slip.
Perhaps I will be able to keep them up with a modification.
Oh, dear, poor little Power. He's such a sweetie. And you are right, his masculinity doesn't suffer at all in the pink pants. :) I hope he feels better and heals very soon. Quite stressful for you, I'm sure. Thanks for the photo, they made me smile.
ReplyDeleteThey sure are cute and a good idea. You'll have to keep us updated both on Power and the pants. Hope he heals up quickly. Hugs
ReplyDeleteThat is a genius invention you made there. I sure hope he heals quick for you. Tell him Cooper and Effie send Get Well Wishes:-)
ReplyDeleteSo glad Power is home. Would it be a good idea when you are with him. to leave thevery inventive chaps (sorry but they look like them:)), off. Neither of my Greys ever had a go at stitches.
ReplyDeleteWell you all take care.
That's priceless! Did it have to be pink? Hahahahaha!!
