Merlin update

He's back to his lovely self. His incision is healing just fine. I have swapped out the soft collar for his regular one because he looked pretty uncomfortable trying to sleep. His appetite is right back to where it should be. He is most pleased to be back in his regular collar, that's for sure.

I'll keep the soft collar handy, just in case he tries to do too much licking or the incision looks inflamed.

Did he get a pedicure while he was sleeping? I would have taken advantage of the opportunity to trim the claws while he was under.
