Jack Has Surgery Tomorrow

[4 Dog Mother]

Haven't heard from the vet yet -- should be soon. Getting anxious waiting for him to call. I am sure everything is alright - but he is my baby!

<pace> ... <worry> ... <fret> ... <PRAY>

We're with you all the way, Mom!
Let us know ...

Be Well, Jack!!

[4 Dog Mother]

I just called them. They said he is doing fine, everything was fine but he was still pretty sleepy so come after him about 5:30. More waiting. Can't wait to see him.

More waiting.

But now it's a Good Wait!

THANKS, God!

Heal up Quick, Jackie Boy ~ Dog Park Daze will soon be here!

[cyber-sibes]

Good, I've been checking in to see how he is. He'll be so glad to get home tonight. Is his favorite Papa Carl around?

[Cincy'sMom]

It is now afte 5:30 (barely!), so I will assume you are standing ontheir doorstep, demanding your Jack back!! Hope he is feeling okay!!

[4 Dog Mother]

Jack is home! Yes, Carl is here - in fact he has himself and Jack "barricaded" in the family room so that the others can't bother him. Not that a gate would stop Pippi! I am not sure what I expected Jack to look like but not like this! I know I'm just being a big baby and once they heal he'll be fine but.....

Last night when I trimmed him I found another lump on his back a few inches from the tail. I asked the assistant to check it out with the doc and it was another lipoma - but very deep. So he had two big lump removals and 6 small ones. 3 of the smaller ones needed stitched. He looks terrible, Cuts and stitches and shaved spots every where. He "initiated" a new machine at the vets that makes it easier to remove the little ugly growths that he and man other terriers get.

Right now he is sleeping - he was hungry when he got hom so we had to feed him. I don't expect him to get sick - he seems to have a strong stomach. Probably from his years outside before we got him.

Poor Jack. I hope he feels better soon. His fur will grown back in
no time. Sounds like Jack has an iron stomach if he can eat so soon
after his surgery.

I think he learned from me! When I had my gall bladder out a few years ago, they said I couldn't go home until I ate. I think my first words in recovery were, where's the food? (Not a fan of hospitals!)

Glad to hear Jack is home and doing well. Get some rest while you can, Buddy!! A day or two and those other pups aren't going to want to leave you alone anymore!

Poor Jack!

Next time you're scheduled for a Sword Fight with the Vet ...
ya gotta remember to take your own SWORD!

Check with Anvik --- Momma Glacier was going to look for some FurGrow Fertalizer.

Has he got a Lamp Shade or a Bite-Not collar to wear?
That'll be worse than the bare spots!

Feel Better Soon, Jack!

Poor Jack. I'm glad the surgery went well but sorry to hear he's so cut up.

[KYS]

Welcome home Jack.
Wishing you fast recovery well wishes.

[chocolatepuppy]

Get well wishes headed Jacks way.

Jack is doing fine this morning except he has been licking at the one on his side - the one he has chewed on for quite some time. I had sent away for some things to use - a "soft" e-collar and a no-bite collar - the only problem was I didn't think about length just the circumference on his neck. They were too short in length since his nose is so long. Anyway, whether the vet thought I had sent for new ones or what they didn't send anything home and when I asked the assistant she said the pain meds should keep him "out of it" enough to keep from chewing on it. Right! Jack's bed is on Carl's side of the bed - at 4:30 in the morning (after getting up at 1:00 to let Dazzi out and 3:00 to let Taggert out) I hear him say Diana, wake up he's licking those stitches. Now I have to ask you why did he wake me up when he could just as easily say "Jack stop it and pull his nose away.

Anyway I called the vets office and picked up an e-collar so that the rest of the weekend might go better. I can't watch him every minute so when I can't I can put that on him. I would really like to not see the open wound.

The one under his tail was bleeding a litle but seems to have stopped now.

And yes this would have been much more traumatic if it had been cause by another dog.

Hey Mom ~

Call Pat (cyber-sibes) - and check the measurements on her No-Bite or Bite-Not collar -
she got one for the Sibes and will probably loan it to Jack ...

If it fits him, he might be a lot more comfortable in it - he won't be *banging* it
into stuff when he moves around.
