Just wanted to update you all :D I brought Bailey home yesterday afternoon because he was too stressed at the vet so she thought it would be better for him at home. He was left over night at the vets Sunday night and hurt his paw trying to get out of the cage he never does well at the vets. He is still very sick at the moment but is keeping his food and fluids ATM, thank god Will keep you updated

Great news. All that Doler finger crossing works wonders ;)

I think it must have

Glad to hear all will be well. I had a puppy some years ago with intussusception (where the bowel telescopes back on itself) but his had tightened instead of loosening and he had to have 6 inches of bowel and 6 inches of intestine removed. Happily, the surgery was successful and he went on to live a good life, but it could have been fatal.

The poor little thing, I'm glad he made it. Bailey was so lucky that his corrected it's self

Thank dog he is ok, very good news. I think i'll have someone come in and clip off the fruit parts of my palm trees till i can afford to get them cut down.

I think it would be safer I'm Soooooo parinoid now

Great news. All that Doler finger crossing works wonders ;)

OT - cavNrott, how did your foster go in surgery on Friday???

Thanks for asking Jodie. The surgery didn't go ahead because the vet decided to go on 'stress leave'. I had no idea he wasn't making an appearance until Faith and I arrived early that morning, as arranged.

I was informed there was a locum on duty who would do the surgery. Not bloody likely!!!

The surgery is complicated and all they seemed to know about it was

Isn't she having a couple of lumps taken off, or something?

I was so angry I could hardly speak.

The vet rang me the following day with an apology and he is now doing the surgery tomorrow. I must say I am more than a little worried and have lost confidence in this vet practice. There seems to be a constant and rapid turn around of staff and no one seems to know what's going on or what they are supposed to be doing.

Faith (who is a keeper, not a foster) has had a number of assessments done by this vet who felt that she was not in a healthy enough condition for the surgery before now. He is a good surgeon who knows Faith well and she is comfortable with him. Otherwise I would not be going ahead with her surgery at this practice. In addition they have the results of all her tests.

Not happy Jan :D . I was stressed out enough about it in the first place and now my stress factor is off the scale.

Please send healing vibes to Faith tomorrow morning.

Sorry to hijack your thread Weimlover .

I really hope everything goes well for Faith today, fingers (& toes) crossed for her & hugs to you both Please let us know how it goes. ;)

Oh and don't feel bad about hijacking my thread, I don't mind one bit

I to had a puppy do this on me, but unfortunately it was such a big thing and the puppy was in shock that he was put to sleep hew was just under eight weeks of age, happens in foals regularly apparently. Im glad your dog is going to be well great news.
