Portohepatic-Shunt?

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.

Dudley should be home by now!! My son called me on there way home and said Dudley looks good! I ask him how long the incision was and he said it was longer then he thought, from his upper chest and over halfway down his stomach. They have to keep him quiet(no barking running jumping playing) now for two weeks! He said Dudley was so excited to see them and was climbing up them and broke open a scabs on his leg where a IV had been. He has to take 3-4 different medicines and be on a low protein diet for awhile and will have a check up at 6 weeks will be a blood test they will do before he eats then again after he eats to see how his protein levels are doing. It will be very hard to keep Dudley down he has a sister that is a very big dog!! She is a Weimaraner. My son says Dudley thinks he is a big dog in a little body!! Tries to keep up with Schatzi, drags her blanket all over and shakes it!! He will have to wait for two weeks to do this. I can not wait to see him this Friday!! Thank you again for all your thoughts and prayers. Dudley is on the road to recovery.
