Sir Jury today for Mr. Binx

Well, after a long night, and even longer morning, Binx is now back home. He has slurped up some food, with some extra pills in there for pain, and healing, has pottied, and now is resting near my feet.

The surgery and recouperation last night went well. He is to return to Dr. Auvil on May 13, for a check up. His teeth should start to erupt within the next 30 days. Right now, he has pain meds, and a mouth wash with antibiotical agents in it.

NEWS FLASH- Binx is going CRAZY!!! He just went after a kitty, knocked over the tent, got scared by that, and ran into the living room. Apparently, Binx is feeling better than I am! What a total nutty episode. It is good to see him settling in at home again.

OK, on with the medical...he can exercise at his pace, no chewing of any food, so, I will give him Euk. wet, with water. It is very soupy, and has an amazing path of projectile.

One more surgery, at least, is in the future...to cut away more gum, after the teeth start coming out. His mouth is VERY scary looking right now, and he prefers that you leave it alone.

Well, I hear barking and hissing...I must go "save" my poor, sick, tired, puppy from the big mean cats~

WELCOME HOME,
Mr Binx !!!! :D

Glad yer back wiffa Katz & MawMee!!

Dad sez the Gang atta Hoppsbittel all like ya a LOT.

Happie Kat Chazin! :rolleyes:

Thanks for the update Jo, you're such a good mom. Sounds like he's feeling better already. You know that he never would have had this chance if you hadn't saved him. Thank you.

Happy to hear that Binx's sir jury went well and that he is now home. :)

Give Binx's and the kitties a hug for me!

So glad Mr Binx is home and doing pretty well so far. :)

Sending many hugs, for you, Mr Binx, and, of course, all the kitties! :)

I'm glad Binxie is home and on the path to recovery. Lots of snuggles and rest time for Mr. Binx.:D

Great news, thanks for the update:D

Lucky, lucky Binx!! Thank you Johanna for saving and caring for this big guy. If you hadn't saved him, who knows what would have happened to him!! You are an angel.

Mr. Binx, so glad you are feeling better. Bet you are glad to be back in your forever home!!!

Great news! I'm so glad to get on today and find out all this new stuff with everybody! It's so good to hear that he's doing fine and feeling better already.

YAY Binx, Hope u feel better really soon :)
& ur mommy should be happy that she doesn't have to carry u around cause of being doped up..

I wasn't as lucky with Max's Sir Jury (from being stabbed), Max had 3 hr Sir Jury on his left lower leg & the cut was so bad, they had to cut off his dewclaw & his inside toe doesn't work.. Daddy was there the whole time assisting the vet & nurse & then the vet said it would be best if I remove the other dewclaw & Daddy said yes.. So max was all bandaged up & the outside tape was florcent orange, he looked like a racing horse... but Max had to be druged up for several days, cause the vat did not want him walking around.. So here I am a 5 foot 13 yr old & I had to carry Max (80 pounds) around, hand feed him & hand water him, I had to hold him so he could go potty, then lay him down so I could pick it up... it was alot of hard work, but I didn't complain cause I love Max & he's my puppy dog (oh Max was only 3 at the time)

Apparently, while at the vet, a switcheroo was made, and I was given a cross between a little pony, a kangeroo, and an alligator. Binx is NOT resting, he IS eating, and is NOT behaving himself, at all. Who knew a little dental work would bring out the puppy in my 5.5 month old puppy. His glee/energy makes me wonder if 'maybe' he was in more pain before than I thought. He is a total NUT right now...:D

And that's exactly how we like our pups (some of the time) acting like total nuts...........like little kids.......who need some disciipline once in a while.

Johanna, your last post made me laugh out loud!! What next?

Keep us posted! And I am glad that all of the news is so good.

(Did the Dr. give you some sleeping pills? - for Binx - not you?:D )

Hehehehehe, such good news!!

Oh my god, what a stressful time for you all. I only just saw Binx on your sig and caught up with his trauma. I'm so glad he came out of the op with flying colours! :)

:D:D:D Can't beat that canine spirit!! Good for you Binxster!! You landed in the BEST home imaginable, and I think you know it!!:) Now mind your Mommy so you'll heal real quick! We know you're already up on all 4's!!:D

And Kingrattus...what a wonderful Mom you are too!! I was so sad to hear about your precious Max's injury and Sir Jury:( But he was lucky enough to have the most devoted and loving family, and a pup can't ask for more than that! Hope your sweet Max is all healed and doing well!!:)

Max is doing well (it happened 6 yrs ago, but still feels like yesterday).. The toe that was damaged is a pain in my butt, cause the nail & the quick wont stop growing.. I'll have to get the nail cut in half to match his other nails.. I'm just scared that the nail will make the toe point upright too far & cause some foot injuries. I do cut his nails but the quick wont stop growing & I'm not cutting that cause the bleeding might not stop for me.. but I know vets hve special glue like stuff that'll stop the bleeding.. Max is a very strong & tough dog... & he wont need any pain killers for something that small.. Max was outside when he was stabbed.. he was walking aroud like nothing happened.. its the neighbours kid that saw blood everywhere & I mean everywhere... I'll never forget the way I felt when I was told to run home, cause Max had an accident & had to have Sir Jury... My mind went blank & I was hit with a ton of fear & when I saw him laying doped up on the chair all wrapped up in bandages & a blanket.. I lost it & freaked out & couldn't stop crying & wanted to know who did this? I never did findout who did it.. & now that I think of it.. there was a little too much blood everywhere.. maybe he attacked someone & drew blood??

HEHHEHE Like Mother like Son!! lol

Binx is eating canned Euk. mixedd with water..very sloppy and soupy. I don't know what Frosty Paws are!!!! They sound like a snack? Tell me, and I will go look for them tomorrow when we (well, Binx) have our weekly weigh in at Petsmart.

Walk time!

Johanna, Frosty paws are like icecream, but for dogs. You boy definately deserves one!
Well, how much weight has he gained since you've had him? I bet he's growing fast:)

Hi Anna,
Thanks for the info on Frosty Paws. I will pick some up for Binx tomorrow...assuming they involve no chewing...he is on that restriction for at least one week. He is eating really well, again. I adopted him on a Tuesday night. I weighed him that following Sunday, and he weighed 49.6. Then, that next Tuesday, he had some work done on his mouth. The next Saturday, he weighed 44.9!! A five pound drop. Very troubling for me. Then, this week, Thursday, he had his mouth operated on. So, I am very interested to see what he will weigh tomorrow, Sunday. The girl at Starbucks told me this am that he looked like he put on weight. So, here is hoping he did!

When we walked this am, he was a pee-a-saurus...I don't know why. Maybe because he is taking in more liquids from the wet gloppy food? We stopped at the park, and he played with a left over soccer ball..and was totally acting like a puppy should, including biting my ankles! I look pretty silly walking with a St. B attached to my leg. I am being so careful with his mouth, and thought the soccer ball would be ok, since it is too big to fit inside. He just finished his breakfast- 10 oz of canned...and I will move to two cans- 20 oz, at lunchtime. He is snoring away on his couch right now, probably dreaming of Frosty Paws as I type!

Johanna

Frosty paws should be fine...no chewing involved :)

The peeing thing, could be that he is starting to mark. As he gets closer to 6-7 months he will probally do that more...esp. if you start to see the leg lift.

Sounds like he is feelingmuch better!! I'm sure he'll start to gain weight now that he mouth doesn't hurt so much!

I will be in Cincinnati May 13 (maybe 12-14?) for business...maybe I'll get a chance to come see the baby boy?

Good for Binx! The worst should be over and his demeanor indicates he is feeling much better. There certainly are times when being a NAWTEEDAWG warms the Mom's heart. I think this is one.

Cinder and Smoke,

Hey, you guys read my mind.I heard some doggies can
do that.:D :D I was just wondering about Binx too. Haven't
heard anything for awhile. How ya doing Binx?

Well, here we are on week post the search and rescue for the little white things, and what a difference a week makes. Just this am, I had Binx on the floor, and was doing a secret count...and saw about 7 little white things on the bottom jaw..and just couldn't get him to hold still enough to count anything on the top. I will try to get him to show me something up there, soon. Today, we had a little bit of bleeding, but, I am not concerned. It really was just a little, and probablly a result of the gnawing he does on everything..arms, legs, toys, stuffies, etc.

He has been eating pretty good. Yesterday I stopped the pain medication, AND started adding the dry food to his bowl. I am still soaking the dry food 4 hours, and today, I tried using electric beaters, and it did a good job. I can tell Mr. Binx prefers straight wet $1.05 canned food!!! I am trying to keep him close to 6 cups a day...and that might seem like alot to alot of you, but, keep in mind, he is growing like a weed, and he is a giant breed.

His two newest things? Barking at my feet..usually with my shoe IN his mouth, making the bark all muffled. Funny, but annoying to walk like that. The more I scold him, the funnier he thinks it is, and we go on until I head wrestle him to the ground, OR, I run outside.

Second thing? Well, Binx thinks he is a giant CAT! (I knew it wouldn't take long). He has managed to crawl through the cat hole in the basement door. At first, it was just the melon. Then, it was the front arms. Next thing I knew, his WHOLE self was through the hole, down the steps, pawing at the door I just exited through. I still drove off...around the block, and came back- maybe two minutes later. Who was staring at me from the living room? Cat/dog, Mr. Binx. So, he can get through it both ways. I figure he has maybe one more month of that, at best.

We got our first ice cream together Tuesday night. Vanilla in a bowl for him...yummy, he said. We sat on the curb and ate it, and got plenty of smiles. I got my own, in case you are wondering.

We are due for a check up on May 13. I am anxious to hear the prognosis/plan. I beleive he is gaining weight. The scale was acting funny at Petsmart last week. (Strange, my home scale seems out of wack, too).

That is all from here at the Sir Jury Center!!!

Thanks for the update Jo, sounds like things are progressing quite nicely. I see you spoil him like we spoil ours with ice cream!! I'm glad to hear that little white things are showing up and that he is gaining weight.

:D Oooh, Happie Daze!! :)

SOOOOO Glad yer feelin Better!
An keep Growin them lil Purly Whites! :D

Oh, one other Binx trick...standing on the side boards to my bed, crying/whining to get up there with me. I turn my head away, and just ignore him!!! I am a little afraid he will learn that he CAN get up there by climbing on the hope chest at the foot of the bed, then, walking onto the bed. That will be the "Hueston? We have a problem"!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the update Johanna! Sounds like Mr Binx is getting along great, usual puppy antics and all!


Molly-How in the world do you give ice cream to 20 dogs!?! We have enough trouble keeping three's noses on their own servings!!!

That's the secret. We DON'T give it to 20 dogs at a time. Whenever we go out and take one or 2 dogs we stop and either get them a plain cheeseburger or we stop at DQ and get a baby size cup for them.

That's sorta what I figured :p

OMG....can you imagine the mess? lol

I just figured you'd been busy with the big boy:p

Glad to hear his teeth are starting to pop through, that's wonderful news!

Sounds like he's acting like a true puppy, have fun Jo:D
