TUESDAY 17TH TO WEDNESDAY 18TH
JULY 2012
Duggie was carried most
of the way to the vets for his nine o’clock appointment and he bravely limped
off with the nurse. We moped about for most of the morning, but at two o’clock
we couldn’t look at his empty bed anymore and had to phone the vets for a
progress report, we were told that all was well, but he was having another
X-ray. Just after four the phone rang and we were told that we could collect
him at quarter to five. The vet showed us the X-rays and little slither of
glass that had been removed from his pad and then the little chap came hopping
towards us with his front left leg all wrapped up in blue sticky tape.
His follow up medication
was explained, a plastic bag, made from an old saline drip bag, was tied over
his taped up foot, a follow up appointment was made for Friday and the bill
settled, fortunately pet insurance will pick up the majority. After a little
hopping along so that he could have a pee, I carried him back to SKYY where he
settled down to sleep off the anaesthetic and we relaxed happy to see his bed
re-occupied.
We all slept in late on
Wednesday, but Duggie was keen to get out once I had tied on his plastic boot
and was running around so fast I had to put him back on the lead, but he looked
back to his old self. Rain arrived again mid morning and it was a day for doing
not a lot except a bit of people watching from the cosiness of SKYY as they
soddenly walked the river side.
In the evening Judy, Don
and their dog Chressie are coming on board for dinner and it promises to be a
fun evening.

So pleased to see that Duggie is recovering after his op, Great pictures of him enjoying all the attention. Doug, James and Oscar
Poor Duggie and poor you. Worse than having children when they have to be left at the vet for any reason. Rosie, Mollie, Charlie, Pickle & Lilly all send their hugs to Dug - me too
