Jack is having an operation: UPDATED 14/02/08

**CultureJunky** · 02-04-2008, 05:07 AM

Well Jack is now in the vets, I took him in at 8.30 this morning. They gave him a sedative and I signed some forms and he went in. He will either be home by around 2.00pm or around 4.00pm after the vet has checked him over after his operation. I'm missing him like crazy, and doing housework to pass the time. I've just mopped all the floors then I'll do some hoovering, then maybe sit down and have a cup of tea, hopefully the time will go soon and he'll be back in my arms and I can nurse him back to the Jack he used to be

Praying for Jack, and waiting for an update.

Don't forget to make a fusss of Sunny! No better way to create jealousy than to focus on one and ignore the other.

Praying Jack gets home feeling really great!

Prayers for Jack and you - that he will be in your arms soon and you can 'fluff' him up a bit to what he used to be.

Hehe, Sandra, I have made a fuss of Sunny, when she can be bothered! lol

Jack is home now, he's a bit sore, and I was quite shocked at how awful it looks, with the stiches, it almost looks like he has another head sewn on his body. He also had his ears cleaned whilst he was there so they are nice and gleaming with no muck in them anymore.
Everything went fine, he's had an anti-biotic injection, and is going back on Wednesday for a check-up. He's eaten a bit of tuna and pink tinned salmon that I bought as that's easy to digest. He's also had a good drink, he must've been so thirsty not being able to have anything.
His right paw is sore from where he had the drip in too.
He's cleaned himself though and is stretched out by the fire warming his belly snoozing.
It looks a lot worse than it is I know, as because his neck is all shaved, it looks really skinny and with the stitches and the stains of blood in his fur he looks like his head has been nearly chopped off!
I nearly cried when they brought him out, but no he's fine, and seems to be partly his old self, if a little groggy and google eyed from being out.
I'm going to sleep downstairs with him tonight, as he may want me for something, and I dont want him to climb up the stairs and fall or anything, so I'll sleep on the sofa with him.
I don't know when he'll have his stitches out I guess they'll say on Wednesday when he has his check-up.

I'll try and get some pics tomorrow of him, but he's laying down so peacefully at the moment I haven't got the heart to disturb him,
I am so happy he's home, I have never been so anxious!

Thanks for all your best wishes and thoughts
