Oh dear, poor Miki! Immediately after this type of surgery, Miki may be a bit quieter for the next few days as he recovers. After this time, most dogs return to their normal selves without any change in personality or temperament - usually within 10-14 days. He will likely require a hospital stay after surgery to assure that he seems to be healing well and is not experiencing severe pain. For the 10-14 days following surgery, try to keep him quiet and prevent any running, jumping, or playing, as this could delay healing and lead to bigger problems. He will also need to wear some form of an e-collar (cone) to prevent him from licking at the incision and pulling out any sutures or staples. On a personal note, one of my dogs also had surgery to remove foreign material and bounced back to his normal self after the post-operative recovery period. I hope this helps and that Miki is feeling better soon!
