Asking For Good Thoughts & Prayers For My Jack (Non-Grey)

[Guest tammara]

My Doberman Jack goes in today to have three fatty tumors removed. One has grown quite large and appears to be behind a muscle on the inside of his right rear leg. That one has changed his gait and we have decided to have them all removed. We have had Jack 6 years now (his gotcha day was yesterday). We got him when he was only 12 weeks old. I just hate having any of them put under, but that one bad tumor needs to go. He will also have a dental. If you would keep him in your thoughts and prayers I would appreciate it.

Chase had his dental yesterday so I know how you feel. Definitely will be thinking good thoughts for your Jack.

Not sure if Jack has had surgery before or not (neuter?) but did you test him for VonWillebrand's? Wishing Jack a safe and uneventful surgery!

[greytpups]

He's very cute, and I especially love his "floppy" ears Best wishes for an uneventful surgery.

[heartdogs]

Hope everything goes well. I too love his ears. Will keep thinking of him so let us know how it goes.

Good thoughts for you and Jack. Poodle has 3 or 4 but they aren't interfering as of now.

Oh my God, he looks JUST LIKE my Jack!!!! Good thoughts coming your and Jack's way from Sunny beautiful Florida!!!

[Guest tammara]

Thanks everyone. Jack made it through surgery. We have to call at 5, hopefully he will be ready to come home then (he wasn't ready earlier). He did lose one tooth (poor baby). I will just be so relieved to have the tumors gone and hopefully his gait will return back to normal. He was kind of twisting that back leg as he walked and I was so afraid he was going to injure himself because of it.

 

Thanks also to BiancasMom for mentioning VonWillebrand's. Jack has had surgery twice before without incident so I didn't have to worry about that. But I am grateful that you are looking out for us.

 

Will post more when he is home later!

glad to hear he's doing well

Glad Jack is doing OK.

 

We've been owned by three Dobies over the years. Wonderful dogs!

 

Our last girl was very badly affected by VWD...our vet did not even want to do her spay, but we are very lucky to have a Canine Blood Bank here. She had to have infusions of cryoprecipitate before, during and after her spay and stayed in the clinic under very close supervision for 2 days.

[Guest BiancasMom]

Yay for Jack! He is one handsome dog. Glad he is doing well.

[Guest tammara]

Well he is home all tucked in on the couch getting lots of love . He is pretty groggy and doesn't want anything to eat or drink yet, but hopefully he will within a few hours so we can get his pills into him. I only saw him walk a little but I think his gait is already better. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers!!!

[Houndtime]

Glad his is home and doing well.

[Guest dmt]
