Update
Gah..reading back that's not root..that's nerve. Duh..sorry..well. We are back..he is sleeping. Took me half an hour to get him there. He didn't want to go. I gave him the pain pills. In half an hour I wake him to change gauze, in an hour it's for the other pills. He came out laughing. It was cute. He'll be alright. Now is just the part where I try to get him to behave till he's better.
