our newest foster dog (an older shihtzhu) who came just before Christmas had his BIG vet appointment today - usually that might be a nueter and one other thing..today's surgery included

eye staining and tear test (yup he has dry eye as well as pigmentation loss and someother old guy eye disorder)
nueter
umbilical hernia repair
removal of 8 cysts (on both sides and all ends of the body - including his tail)
dentistry including removal of 9 teeth
he was out for 2 hours ..
he is home now on his bed shivering under a blankie with his tongue lolling on the blanket ...
poor little dude .. I watch recoveries quite regularly but he is breaking my heart tonight - finally things were ok in his world and I had to whack him with this

Oh, poor guy! I am sure he will thank you in a few weeks (when the satellite dish is off his head). He will feel a whole lot better!

 

[fanny&eddiesmom]

Poor little guy. I hope he is feeling better soon.

Wow, having all that work done would knock the best of them down. Prayers that Aldwin feels better tomorrow and has a fast recovery. Poor little guy.

 

[justine]

Wow. Poor guy.. sounds like quick a shock, but it will all be for the better. Here's to hoping for a quick recovery!

Awwww little sweetie! Good healing thoughts for a speedy recovery for Aldwin.

Shame I wish him a speedy recovery, Joey was neutered in the beginning of December and he thought it was the end of the world.

That's a lot for a little pup to put up with ! It can only get better from now on ! Good thoughts to him !

 

[kaytris]

I hope he's feeling a bit better this morning...

poor little one. My shiz had a hernia as a puppy and a cherry eye. Lord only knows how many of those type dogs came out of puppy mills. My boy is 13-1/2 and still going strong. Sleeps more soundly these days; but otherwise, I sometimes don't believe he is as old as he is. Hope the same for Aldwin's future!!

 

[MidwestGirl]

((hugs Aldwin))

Oh poor baby boy. That's alot to take on all at once. :no: Too bad he doesn't realize how much better it is to have everything done at once. Prayers for a speedy recovery and a loving forever home. ray:

I hope Aldwin is feeling better today. ray:

 

[amazongold]

How is the little guy feeling today? I hope he's much better!

 

[mollyrock]

awww, hugs for Aldwin. He'll be better soon.

 

[imported_gailatmsu]

That is a lot for one day. I hope he's feeling better soon.

 

[Guest]

I hope Aldwin is feeling better today too.

 

[Clanceycanuck]

Wow that's a lot in one day. Good fast healing thoughts for Aldwin.

he is feeling much better - I was suprised until I came on here to see how many of you were thinking good thoughts for him

he is already itchy - I guess all the shaved spots itch fast and its very funny to watch him mouth and gum his food trying to figure out how to chew .. he is trying to chew a little bit but luckily his teeth aren't working all that well so for now no hood
he slept in bed with us for the first time last night (something house dogs do but fosters don't until they are long term) he liked that quite a bit!
