puppy
Our puppy Gambit was neutered Friday, but we knew something wasn’t right–he was having trouble going to the bathroom–so we took him in Sat. to the vet, who gave him antibiotics, checked him out, etc. And he seemed to be doing better, although still having trouble peeing. Last night he pissed a lot of blood and Kristin took him into the pet emergency room (I was still coming home from work). He spent the night there and early this morning was taken to the U. of M. veterinary school for surgery. They’re not entirely sure what is wrong with him–so they’re doing exploratory surgery pretty much right now. It could be complications from the neutering surgery, or just that, indirectly, the surgery had triggered something that was already there (because of his weak immune system when we got him). Needless to say we’re freaked out and worried as all hell. It’s just a devastating waiting game. I keep thinking that the little puppy survived the toxic wastelands of Hurricane Katrina on his own and that he’ll pull through. He’s a trooper and survivor. There’s that hope, even though it feels like it’s only a thread.
My thoughts are with y’all and with Gambit. He sounds like a tough little guy.
Take care, Gambit! How awful for you guys.
Oh. No sick puppies! Get better, Gambit.
Poor little guy. I hope he gets better soon.
Poor Gambit! And poor you guys. Hope he’s feeling better soon.
Poor Gambit! Poor you guys. Hope he’s feeling better soon (or already).
Oh! Well, that explains why my first comment hadn’t appeared. Sorry about that. Heh.
