greytpups Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) Update: Ben sliced his leg yesterday while running and I thought he just needed antibiotics and could wait until today...wrong...our vet said we should have called him. Ben needed stitches and then Grant (our vet) checked his teeth while he was anesthetized and poor guy had to have some teeth extracted. Grant thought he may have to extract his canines, but we're hoping the antibiotics will help his mouth as well. It would have been a lot easier on Ben if I hadn't waited. Then Dh took him for a short walk down the street and he came back with a cut paw I had to call our vet's office at noon. The last time I had to call the vet at noon, he told me Bailey had cancer and there wasn't anything he could do for her. So to say I was a bit anxious making the call would be an understatement...yeah, I know I worry too much, but geez, these are my babies. I feel bad because I didn't want to impose on our vet and didn't think it warranted a trip to the evet. Poor Ben is suffering for it though. I don't have to worry about putting the cone on yet though...he's far too groggy. Thanks for your good thoughts and phone calls...mostly I've been watching him to make sure he's still breathing Ben could use a few good thoughts please Damn, I wish I hadn't fed him this morning...I had no idea he'd need surgey...how can I be so clueless sometimes Edited March 1, 2011 by greytpups Quote Jan with precious pups Emmy (Stormin J Flag) and Simon (Nitro Si) and Abbey Field.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
