Oscar went back to the surgeon in Columbus this morning for a follow-up to his surgery 3 days prior. The surgeon was happy with his incision as it showed no signs of infection. He did indicate that it was still too early to tell if the surgery would be successful which went against what our local vet initially told us. The surgeon did try to manually express his bladder since we weren't having much luck at home. Oscar did resist the pressure and held his urine in. The surgeon was happy with this since it did indicate he had some bladder control which meant some of his nerves could be working.
April weather in Ohio is hit or miss. On occasion we will be fortunate enough to have a warm day. By this point, Oscar has been cooped up in a bathtub for 3 days straight. In the evening when we took the children out for some fresh air, Oscar joined us. It was still slightly chilly so we wrapped him up to help him stop shivering. He was grateful for his time outside, but it was obvious he wanted to go in after only 10 minutes.
Maya (his sister) still wants nothing to do with him and avoids him like the plague. I will bring her over to him and she immediately runs off. I would give anything for them to lay side by side like they did all day, everyday prior.
