Bo is Home !

He drank a little water and ate a little food, and seemed to keep it all down OK.

I gave him his first physical therapy session; a very gentle full body massage (which he loved). I'm sure he was stiff from being knocked out and staying in a cage for 28 hours. Next, some very gentle leg extensions, followed by a cold pack on his repaired leg (which he seemed to appreciate). That should mitigate the swelling and bruising, which has already started. More importantly, it should ease the pain that he's hiding so well.

Next, he got a codeine pill, which calmed him down pretty quickly. I have some tranquilizers to help him sleep a lot the next few days.
