PT prayers still needed. Update post 137

Thanks everyone and glad you enjoyed the video.

Thanks for the info, Jess, although I know what fatty lumps are etc I didn't know what caused them. Very interesting.

I wasn't going to remove his cone until tomorrow just before we go to get the stitches out, but his new crate came today ....



He's a happy boy now.

Of course now I have to keep listening out for licking sounds.

Aww, happy Bobby! Is that better sweetie? I hope you get those nasty stitches out tomorrow.

Sorry I have not responded to this thread until now Chris. My work and home life have been a little crazy so I don't get much time on the internet any more. I had read the title and had actually thought I had responded when you first posted just to let you know you and Bob were in my thoughts and prayers. So I have been thinking about you both although I didn't get to read any more about what was going on. Bob is such a beautiful boy I am just so glad that it was fatty tumors and not something worse. I have to say though that after looking at that first picture with the tube etc, I would have been freaking out - that was really ugly! I am so glad he is recovering. Nice new crate - don't think I have ever seen one with a side door like that.

Bobby, I can see why you're happy - what a nice crate you've got there.

Chris, if Bob is going to have the stitches out tomorrow, I don't think you have to worry so much about him licking a bit. Fister's was healed nicely after 10 days.

Still, you could put something yummy on his paw, and he'll be busy licking that off.

Diana, thanks for thinking of us and the prayers, much appreciated. And yes, that wound did look 'yuk', I wasn't quite prepared for that.

The crate. The old one is getting a mite rusty in parts (although it is nearly 11 years old after all) so I thought it was time for a new one. It, the new one, is a lightweight so was not expensive, Bobby just uses his crate as a den but it is useful to me as the occasional 'lock-up'. As for the side door, well, it also has a front door and that is one of the main reasons I bought it, most useful for where you can place it in the room.

Randi, you've now eased my mind about the licking thing, thank you!

Hi, Bobby, sweet boy! You look much better to me with your cone off. I bet your incision itches as it heals, but try not to lick at it, okay? It will stop being itchy soon. Please ask your mum to give you loads of kisses for me, and some to Ebby too. I'm glad you are healing well.

Kisses,
Elyse
