Aniston's surgery went very very well! Dr Don is amazing! No exercise for a week post op. I will be keeping her in separate cage to avoid any cage mates from grooming her stitches out. They are to dissolve on their own. Dr Don said she wouldn't need any pain medication or antibiotics as he gave her some already. That concerns me, as I am so used to dogs and cats requiring SOMETHING after surgery, but he is the expert and a very much respected and highly recommended rat vet!
