    Iceman Pooping Himself

    in Health and Medical discussion

    Alisha, I'm just seeing this. Such good loving advice from those who've been down this sad road .... I know you are so good about being positive about everything. Here's your big challenge! I positively know that you and Iceman will have more hugs and love to come, and that when it's time you'll know, and can give him the wonderful gift of freedom, and then continue to celebrate his life in your heart.

    Drake's Healing Progress - After Mass Removal From Both Left Legs

    Ah, I missed a few days.

    I LOVED your description of Drake, his history, and your love for him just does shine through. He obviously does have good quality of life. :)

     

    I bet you're right about the bandage just being not quite right. I hope he's resting alright tonight. Too bad that bit isn't staying closed in the back, but at least you kept it clean, and it will probably be fine in time.

     

    I didn't get/forgot :P that you had an appointment with Dr. Couto! That's great. That will be a relief, to get him to lay his expert hands and eyes on Drake finally. So, Tuesday with Dr. P, and then Friday with Dr. C.. Here's hoping both areas will have turned a corner for the better before they see him, and they'll both be saying, "Oh, well, there's nothing much to look at here." :)

    That's gotta hurt! :( Poor guy. I hope your vets can come up with something new and more effective, from this list or elsewhere, to get this thing closed up. Am I seeing some little openings above the main wound, too? Towards the stop pad?

     

    I hope that back wound finishes healing up, with maybe a little more air circulation, and hopefully no smacking, scratching, bumping or rubbing .... Such a challenge!

     

    How does he seem to be feeling, in general? Is he eating happily? Playing at all?

     

    Hugs to you all!

    I use a rinse on our four called C.E.T. Dental Rinse. I think chlorhexedine (sp?) is the main ingredient, which sound like what yours is, too. I also brush every day with electric brushes and CET toothpaste. It does help!

     

    Glad your pup is home recuperating. Hope it's unremarkable, and NO recurrance!

    Ah! Good luck lining up some help. Funny how sometimes it's the simplest things that just don't even occur to us, huh? :lol

     

    I'm gritting my teeth along with you on this cliff-hanger about what to do! If wishing and willing something to happen worked, this would all be history. :rolleyes:

     

    (I exceeded my fair access policy limit yesterday, so I couldn't look at the pics. Hope it's not too gory!)
