Good news. Gambit’s surgery went well. He had a birth defect that was wholly unrelated to his neutering surgery. (I don’t remember word for word the exact science of it, so rather than misquote it, I’m going to go bare bones with it.) Essentially, one of his kidneys was shot and useless, and had to be removed. But he’ll expect to make a full recovery. We visited him today and, except for a little dribbling, he was the same old Gambit–it was unreal how alert he was after the surgery. When we held him and petted him it was like a massive weight was released. We take him home tomorrow and there’s 2 weeks of recovery where he’s not supposed to make any sudden movements because of his stitches. That will be…interesting. The vets and vet techs who performed surgery and took such good care of him are all wonderful, and we can’t thank them enough.
Here’s hoping that Gambit has a long, boring, uneventful rest-of-life.
Great news, y’all! And yes, there’s definitely something to be said for boring and uneventful.
Yay!
Yay, boring!
Huzzah! great news.
That’s good to hear, Alan.
Go Gambit!
That dog sure has had a run of terrible luck, but he balanced it out by being adopted into your home and having such a great family to take care of him.
Rather than “boring and uneventful”
I have always loved Stein’s refrain from PARIS, FRANCE…
“Peaceful and Exciting”
What more could we want really?
That’s such good news. Congratulations to all of you.
