So today I took an overtime shift 7am-3pm, and of course, Poppi decided to lay down and break his rope that was keeping his head up so that he couldn't lay down. It is very important that Poppi not lay down too much because we need his body wall to heal and get strong again and too much movement can cause his body wall to weaken, especially when laying down because his belly has so much pressure on it and it takes a lot of motion to get up and down. I have been trying to let him lay down every 2-3 days just to get him off his feet because he gets so tired. But sometimes, he decides that he needs to lay down and makes the decision himself. I will worry about him til I get home when I can can then clean him up and check him over.
