VinnieAndRexsMom Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Chase is eating and had a good night. He treid to clean his face himself last night. He is asking to go out and seems more alert this morning. No metacam until this afternoon. I'm feeding his several small meals of homecooked, and I will feed him before his meds. Jake is at the vet... a little nervous but he went with Dr. C. He is the second one this morning, so Doc will have time to find Waldo. Jake did not poop, and I know with my hysterectomy, he would feel a lot better later on if he pooped now. I'm hoping he'll poop in the run b/c he's nervous. He won't go otherwise. I warned the vet that he does not follow my ex-racers classic behavior; he has no quiet reserve, won't crate, slips his collar (I keep it snug), but I forgot to warn him about Jake being so vocal. If he wants/likes/needs something, he is relentless. He used to live with a beagle, so he has somoe really good stuff Quote Tonya, mom to May, and my angels Vinnie, Rex, Red, Chase, and Jake.

VinnieAndRexsMom Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) Jake update: Jake did fine in surgery; however, they did not find the other testie. He was under an hour and a half. They checked the abdominal cavity and even looked on the other side in case they had crossed paths. He has about an 8" incision along side his man part. They will call about 1 p.m. to update me on his progress. When he is awake, I can go get him. I'm bummed abut this. To go through a surgery like that for that long and not come out with anything is disappointing. I hate it that Jake has to endure this for nothing Vet said we would pull blood in a month or so (checking on protocol) to check for testosterone. If he doesn't have any, then there was only one nut. If he still has some, Jake will have to see a surgical specialist. I'm going to ask about an ultrasound when I pick up Jake. I doubt that my vets do it, but someone close does. If they can find the nut that way, then that's what I want to do first. Bummer I'm not one to cry, but this makes me want to Thanks for the well wishes, guys. I appreciate it Edited July 7, 2009 by VinnieAndRexsMom Quote Tonya, mom to May, and my angels Vinnie, Rex, Red, Chase, and Jake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VinnieAndRexsMom Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 He's home, he hurts, and won't eat. We got tramadol to go with the metacam. Carried him out to pee and poop. Good. Then had to carry out again. He had dark, bloody mucus-y loose stool. Called vet. They think it's stress of the surgery. Gave kao-pec form the vet to settle gut. I will wait to see what he does in the morning before I give metacam. I don't want that going dowwn on an already stressed gut.

VinnieAndRexsMom Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 He's eaten three times since last post. Had tramadol at 6:30 a.m. Went out to pee but no poop. Vet called. We're trying to do this with just tramadol today because of the gut.This morning I see a swollen pocket alongside the incision about 1 1/2 " long and about 1/2" wide. I am watching it. If it gets bigger, we'll be back at the vet. He is doing the three small, widely spaced steps out to pee nearly on his own on a leash and with a little help from me. He is finally settled for a bit.

VinnieAndRexsMom Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 Jake had real turds this morning... a little light because of the kao-pec. He is a bit swollen around the incision, so he went to the first thing this morning. He's running a little hot, has a seroma, and swelling/irrritation due to his midnight licking. Soooo, we have antibiotics and I will be restricting his access to his man-parts. Quote Tonya, mom to May, and my angels Vinnie, Rex, Red, Chase, and Jake.

AliWest Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I will be restricting his access to his man-parts. :lol Sorry. That just struck me as funny. I'm glad that the swelling was nothing too serious. Will he have to have the sutures removed or will they absorb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest KyGrey Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Tonya, I have been kind of wrapped up in myself for the last few days. I am sending lots and lots of prayers. Hopefully he's just a one-nutter and won't have to go through anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
