Thank You for the kind words.
Update: Rocky had a vet's appointment yesterday. The drain tubes were removed, flushed the tube sites. He had a little temperature so he got another 3 day antibiotic shot, anti-inflammatory pills and pain pills to be used after the pain med patch was to be removed today. Said that the stitches look good and is healing very well. June 6th the stitches will be removed. He'll have the cone on until then.
Rocky and Mini are not allowed out in the back yard any more. The front is now fenced and we are with them at all times, even though it is fenced, keeping them on a leash. There are no trees/bushes in the front yard, clear view.
Thank You again for the kind words and suggestions.
