Well we had alittle bit of setbacks last few days. The fluid grew to a pretty large amount. Luckily it went down alittle and the Doc said it should reabsorb back into the body in a few weeks. Then yesterday decided he wasn’t going to eat and started throwing up at night. Vet said it’s from the erichlea( […]
I’m very happy to post that he is perfectly healed and back to normal. Actually he’s better than before. His skin and coat are healthier, he’s gained about 10-12 pounds now, also just seems to be happier. We had no idea how sick that little nub was making him. No more screaming spells either. Stitches […]
Well here’s the update. Sorry been super busy with school, Duke, kids, and oh dear gosh holidays. The vet said most likely phantom pain, but did not recommend any more medication. he said to deal with it with comforting and massaging. We’ll see how that works. also to make him take more rest breaks. […]
We’re on day 6 now, going on seven. He was doing ok until last night. He just kept having episodes of loud spontaneous yelping. So he’s got an appt. in the morning to check on everything. Today his meds were lowered which had him acting alittle better. Good enough that he decided to snoop in […]
Well today was alot better. He didn’t seem to be in as much pain, still had some crazy side effects but was pretty much our Duke again. He seems to really not even notice that his little nub is gone. Which means alot to me.
Woke up this morning to a blanket of snow. Crazy Texas weather. Usually I would be thrilled but I was terriefied. So worried it would throw his balance off or that he’d be out slippin n sliding. Nope, not Duke. I’m starting to wonder if he’s not part superdog LOL. Seems he can do anything […]
Well we picked him up this morning. Boy was he glad to see us. he about trampled me as soon as I walked in the door. We’re still alittle surprised by how he looks, the vet that it was best not to cover the wound which is alittle hard to look at it, but we’re […]
Well today is the day. It was a very long morning for us. Neither of us got much sleep as I was following him around everytime he got up making sure he wasn’t drinking or getting into the food. Ended up having to make him sleep in his kennel, which felt so wrong in so […]
Tommorow is duke’s surgery, though he is already a tripod i am still worried about how he will cope. I know in my heart he will be fine but still worry. Seeing as though tommorow is also our family picture day and he won’t be able to attend we decided to take some pictures of […]
Well as much as I hate saying this my lovely marmaduke is having surgery yet again. As worried and sad as I am I know in my heart it’s the best thing for him. We are very worried yet excited for him. Nervous is the main thing the last surgery was so nerve wracking for […]
