Well, here he is. Did not really respond to me when I came in. Looked up with a blank stare, then put his head right back down. He did give a very faint, almost inaudible whimper when I nuzzle his jowl. He is still on an iV, with morphine among other things.
He incurred quite a disruption to his system, so hopefully everything will start back up as it's supposed to as the hours move forward, although the doc reminds me that at his age, it's like a 70 or 80 year old going through an extensive surgery.
Reykjavik did walk from the recovery area to his pony - sized stall early this morning so that was wonderful to hear.
As I'm writing this sitting in the stall with him, he is dozing and occasionally just staring blankly out at the circus that is the back room at a vets office.
