11/19/11 - Well our last night was fine. He didn't get up once to pee - slept through the night. His pees have been normal and yellow/clear - no blood; he's not straining or running to the box a lot. The 'urge' sensation must have been coming from the irritation/sensation from the stitches and the newness of the surgery - swelling - pain - irritation.

I am still using the cone, if he cleans himself just one or two stokes of his tongue, he bleeds big red blood drops. So I am still cupping over the area and allowing him to clean himself, but the cone goes back on. Need to call the clinic and talk to a nurse and find out when this should end. He doesn't mind the cone, probably because he's free in the house and go into any room, sit in any window, sleep on the sofa, Sadie's bed, whatever he wants.
We have an appointment with our homeopathic vet on Monday so that we can return him to balance and wellness; hopefully he can give us something to help his new pee area callus or thicken over so that he doesn't make himself bleed when he cleans.
He's back to his 'old' self. figured out how to jump on the counter with his cone and up to the top of the cabinets. He's sleeping with his cone, and still on me or next to me. We are both sleeping through the night.
Our lives are returning to normal. I actually left the house and walked Sadie, went to the trash, went to town. Something normal. Got home and sleeping on sofa with his cone. Must not mind it - he's able to do what he wants (just about) when he wants and his pee area is not bothering him anymore! A sigh of relief.
