B has a tough day today.
No breakfast for starters...
... and... the surgery.
+++
B used to be very unconcerned when visiting the vet.
Yep, used to be. After being taken his temperature in his butt a few too many times and having been stitched up after a skiing accident a little over a year ago he started to be more careful around those caretakers.
When we visited the vet for the first time here a couple weeks ago he was timid.
Today, he was really scared.

It's over now.
We're home - he's whimpering in his sleep.
I carried him out of the car and onto his bed.
He will have to take it easy for two weeks (!). Bummer.
I really hope that this traumatic event wont leave any scars. He really doesn't need any of that.
I also hope that the growth turns out to be a histiocytom.
I struggle when B isn't well. (How's that for a surprise?)
Send some love!!
Aww, those cone collar things always make dogs look so pathetic. Much love to him to make a speedy recovery, and you too!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Andrea.
ReplyDeleteI am relieved to report that Buford started to act a bit more like himself later last night. Today he continues to run into doorways (apparently he likes to weasel along them which doesn't work with a house around your head), however seems to find positions of comfort and eats like a champ.
Now we just gotta make it through a two week period without getting that foot too worked out and getting it wet or dirty. Weather gods, be nice with us!
