Can you even begin to imagine what his life expectancy would have been if anybody else have gotten him? He may be losing his leg, but he would likely have either been put down for it or worse, it could have gone unnoticed by an inattentive owner until infection killed him. Remember this: There is nothing that can happen during his healing that isn't better than what would have happened to him without you.
Agreed. Getting rest and taking care of yourself will make you a better caretaker for him. There are lots of good links in the Special Needs Crossing that will help you prepare for his new needs and keep your mind busy.

I think he is too frustrated with his collar right now to realize that anything else out of the ordinary is going on, poor guy. I think he'll be so focused on his collar that he'll get used to not being able to use his leg before it even comes off & by the time he is healed he won't think anything of it. So in a way, that albatross of a collar may really be a blessing.
I do think seeing his leg begin to detach and finally come off would freak the heck out of me 
so I would do my best to mentally prepare for that gruesomeness before that time comes, but again, know that it probably won't bother him half as much as it will bother you and that it only means that he is healing. 
Hugs and strength to you!
Well, he could have also found his way to someone else who would have done the same, but I'm glad to have him, you know? I'd go through this all over again, if I had the choice. Geralt really is a sweet little guy, you know?
And yeah, I think it really is the best thing for now. I still want to get him something to put over it, but for now, the cupcake liners seem to be working to some degree. They don't keep him from attacking the cone, but he keeps accidentally sticking his head back in them
Don't even want to know what it's gonna be like to find that his leg is suddenly gone, either, but it's really inevitable at this point. I do know I'll probably never be able to eat a drumstick again after this.
I would be worried that he could chew in to an artery and cause a bleed out on his own?
Garet, hang in there.
Yeah, the vet mentioned something like that. I'm going to have to take him back in when we remove the cone to make sure he doesn't chomp. She said there was a possibility that he could chew up into the healthy flesh and bleed out if we weren't careful.
My first gut reaction was surgery but reading thur this thread it sounds like your vet doing the best she can and if her gut instinct is to not do surgery I'd trust that. Such a difficult spot to be in. You must be worried sick. I'll echo what others have said, be kind to yourself and take care of yourself too. Also know whatever happens that you doing right by Geralt. And Doing everything you can keep to him comfortable in this horrible situation. You'll both be in my thoughts and prayers.
It was my first choice, too. If only lovebirds weren't so small. If he were something a lot bigger, surgery would have been safer to go through. Just the thought of him walking around with his leg still attached like that gives me the chills. This really is like something out of a horror movie at this point, but at least it can't get any worse, as long as he takes his meds.
Gonna go check on him and make sure he's sleeping safe and sound, then try and turn in myself. Ontop of everything else, I think I caught my brother's cold.
I tried to wipe it off my phone, too, then realized where it was, so you're not the only one. Around this time of year, he sheds like crazy.
