i took paco to the vet today to get his drain tube out, and he'll go back in 12 days to get his stitches out, he's healing nicely and i let him out of the bathroom to run around the house for a bit, he seems to think the bathroom is his room though, and when he got tired he went back in there and laid down...he's so happy, and his fur is shining again, and he's very soft!
