RaineysMom Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) if you could spare a prayer or two for our sweet Larry - he is going in tomorrow morning as he has a large suspicious growth on the back roof of his mouth, and for a much-needed dental. At 12 years old, and the fact that he is utterly TERRIFIED of being at the vets - he shakes, pants and gets very stressed -- makes this very scary and very dangerous :cry1 If it wasn't absolutely necessary I would not be putting my baby through this. He is in the BEST of hands - but I am still so very scared and worried for my sweet Lare Bear. Any good thoughts and prayers will be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you Update 10:30am 3/26 - Dr. Finan just called, he did very good. The growth was just attached by a small piece of tissue so there wasn't a huge area to cut out or anything. He also had a little more gum that had overgrown removed as well. He is awake and she said he's doing ok and we can come pick him up at 1:30pm thank you again for the good thoughts and prayers! : Edited March 26, 2019 by RaineysMom Quote Kim and Bruce - with Rick (Rick Roufus 6/30/16) and missing my sweet greyhound Angels Rainey (LG's Rainey 10/4/2000 - 3/8/2011), Anubis (RJ's Saint Nick 12/25/2001 - 9/12/12) and Zeke (Hey Who Whiz It 4/6/2009 - 7/20/2020) and Larry (PTL Laroach 2/24/2007 - 8/2/2020) -- and Chester (Lab) (8/31/1990 - 5/3/2005), Captain (Schipperke) (10/12/1992 - 6/13/2005) and Remy (GSP) (?/?/1998 - 1/6/2005) at the bridge"Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk.

Hubcitypam Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) Could the vet give you a mild sedative to give to him before you take him or would that interfer with his surgery? Edited March 25, 2019 by Hubcitypam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaineysMom Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share Posted March 26, 2019 thanks, everyone I really appreciate the prayers and good thoughts. I am a mess. Bruce dropped him off at 8am. They didn't have me give any kind of sedative (or any of his 4 meds for that matter) this morning -- they will be giving him a form of valium right away as soon as they get the IV in to calm him down (they will give his regular meds via IV there too, Meloxicam/Tramadol and Gabapentin). he's supposed to be done first so hoping all will go really well and he does ok. I am scared sh*tless right now for him. I've heard SO many bad stories about dentals and especially in older dogs like him I'll update later when I hear.
