As expected, I'll be making a journal of Kota's recovery here on the blog.. now that he's had 24 hours at home, here are updated pictures. I won't update pictures again for another few days...

This is the angle that his ear sat at, when he woke up this morning.

This is him after work today... smiling his big Kota smile, despite his weird ear...

another shot of the ears in comparison to one another...
and the back of his ear this morning... poor little Frankendog... LOL

Last night I let the dogs run together - which ended up making Kota more comfortable. It ended up making ALL of the dogs more comfortable, honestly. And when it came time for bed, I let him stay in one little section of my bedroom where he normally sleeps. I was up and down A LOT checking on him, but in the end, he did great. I woke up to blood splatters on the wall from his head shaking over night - but aside from that, he slept like a LOG I think. :)
Chance is reacting to the stress in the house I think... he's been weird about eating. He didn't eat his breakfast this morning, so I left it for him all day in his crate (I crated them all today) and he didn't eat it till this evening. Weird dog. Sympathy stress?? LOL
My main concern now is when the itching kicks in... I'll keep an eye out for itching, and the minute it starts, the e-collar will come back out.
More updates tomorrow - hopefully there's not much to report on - dog wise :)
