Title: Duke gets to go under the blade :(
Post by: RichD on September 02, 2008, 07:02:33 PM
So Duke's health the last few weeks hasn't been so great:
lost a little weight, little bald spots, upset stomach, ear infection, etc...
Prescribed: medications for above....

so, to ease you into his current situation lets suppose this:

Rotten people have maggots in them.
The very most rotten of them are full...
so full the start to actually leak...
...yup:  maggots.

Now, if your still with me, get this:

I come home to let a rotten little dog out of his cage and I find:

he's full of maggots.

Rotten little dog!

(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3194/2822861887_95582bc774.jpg?v=0)












...but seriously (it's hard for me to do  ;D )
it's a condition called "Cherry Eye" that Pugs (-and derivatives) could get
where some little eye gland,  can, randomly, pop out.

He doesn't know or care that it's happened.  -same old goofy hyper Duke!  [bacon]

So ...once he's done with his CURRENT medications (if not any better, of course)
Under the blade for Duke.

He says if Corey's tough and can do eye surgery, so can he!   [thumbsup]


So tonight me and pooper are havin' a beer   [beer]  <---(he's on this side)

DAYUM!  That's almost one for rotten.com!

I hope all goes well and we see a smiling, happy Duke back on all fours and scootering around town soon!

That maggot infestation has got to seriously cut down on the babe-to-puppy-magnet-factor.

My dog is wearing one of those cone things - tied to her collar because she got the first one off and chewed it up........she's really pissed off right now.  :P

Rich D - let us know if you need any help after Duke's surgery!

I'm thinking I'll try to schedule it for next Friday (the 12th)
Pumping him full of antibiotics for his ear now... should be done by then.

I don't want to put him under before he is 100% (since it's not critical for his health, it's just an appearance/cosmetic thing)

Dr. Gully's office (Sublet/Cooper) has been really good to him...
I'm sure it would be fine anyway...
...but if something didn't go right and I didn't wait a little...
well... I would have a hard time dealing with me.   ;)

Title: Re: Duke gets to go under the blade :(
Post by: bryant8 on September 05, 2008, 02:48:57 PM
I hope he'll be 100% before the HC ride [thumbsup]

I was wondering about the HC....dogs usually heal pretty quick though.

If I have to cremate him and tote an urn -HE'S GOING!


;D










...just kidding about the cremation thing.   ;)

And, yeah, he's young (he'll be "1" on the H.C. trip)
I remember when I was young... I'd skin my knee and just about watch it heal back.
Now I limp.   :-\

Duke actually plays well with others...
I was a little concerned when he wanted to play with Desmo (LYD's Yorkie/Shitzu mix)
because Desmo was less than three pounds... but he did good.   [thumbsup]
