Dudley is at KSU today for his ultrasound I am waiting to hear from my son or dil tonight.

The shant is on the outside the liver and this is good Dudley will have his surgery tomorrow and they should know tomorrow how it turned out. He was doing pretty good over the weekend the medicine he was on is working and he was playing and running all over! My dil said he was almost 100% back to himself. Dudley weights 7 pounds and the Vet there at KSU was happy to see this she said they have done this surgery on 1-2 pound Yorkshire puppies and they are really small!

I talk to my dil this evening and the surgery went well it did take the Vet a little longer then planned. Dudley is doing fine he was having some regurgitating problems when waking up. They are watching his lungs because of this but the Vet says every thing looks good and he might get to come home Saturday or Sunday. They want him home so bad but know he needs to stay there for a couple days. The Vet will call them tomorrow and let them know how he is doing. Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers for little Dudley. I will posted when he gets home.

Dudley is coming home today!!!! They are on there way this morning to pick him up. The only thing I do know is that he will have to be on an antibiotic for six weeks. I will know more when they pick him up. My dil said they have been calling her twice a day to let her know how he is doing. They are so anxious to get him and have him home!

Will update as I get more information.

It's good to hear the Vet said the surgery was successful & he's doing well.
I hope the little guy heals up fine.
