Just got back from the vets'....

Post by TheSkeptic »

Mr. Dawg was still out when we got there. They didn't operate when they thought they would. It was after 3:00 before they operated on him. The infussion took 3 hours. The operation was a success as far as infusing went. We will call around 10 tonight to see if he is awake yet.

We petted him and talked to him, but unless he smells us when he wakes he will not know we were there. He will come home tomorrow.

I think the stress is telling on the other dogs. Yesterday, Coco attacked Prissy. Normally Prissy ignores her when she attacks, but not yesterday. fortunately she didn't bite Coco, just got in her face snarling, growling and snapping. Cheryl went to pull Coco away and Coco bit her, but being toothless did no harm.

I stayed home all day waiting for news of Mr. Dawg and all the dogs were hyper. Running and barking at the slightest disturbance in the neighborhood. I will stay home again tomorrow and keep the dogs company again, while waiting for the call from the vet to pick up Mr. Dawg.

The dogs did take time out to rest today. I took the oportunity to spend a lot of time outside with them today.

Here they are yesterday playing patio furniture.

and again this morning.

Only Pea Pod was in the pup's corner today. The right rear corner of the yard is a spot that the pups tend to congregate in when not running around and playing.

Talked to the vet at 10:15 P.M. Mr. Dawg is awake and fussing. He wants to come home to his water bed. ......

I will try to find out. I just picked up Mr. Dawg. The vet and vet tech who did the treatment are off today. The tech that was there had no idea. I have to go back later, because they lost his collar and tag and I will ask one of the vets then. .....
