Hey,
so Barney had his surgery yesterday and all is well so far, he is still at the vets for now and I’m hoping he gets to come home Thursday.
the vet said the procedure went to plan and they also removed the enlarged lymph node, we will have samples sent off for a biopsy and find out the results soon.
he was very anxious when he woke up and they had to give him Valium to calm him down but this morning I called and got told he had a pretty calm night and even ate breakfast this morning, which for Barney is a great sign.
I will keep updating as we go, I’ll take any advice for our journey ahead, I know it’s going to be a hard one but I’m just glad he will be coming home. Thanks for all your support everyone.
YAAAAAAAAAY FOR BARNEY!!! SURGERY IS DONE AND HE ATE IS BREAKFAST!! ,GOOD JOB BARNEY! 🙂 🙂
Glad the Vet is keeping him two noghts. Sometimes bigger dogs need a bit more time to get their sea legs. Getting rest and good pain meds are a good thing for him right now.
Just ignore the incsion when you go to oick Barney up. He just wants to see you smile and tell him what a good voy he is!! 🙂 Convey a strong and confident pack leader energy and he will k ow all os well….and it is!!
Remember to cover any hardwood floors with non slip scatter rugs for traction.
Sloooow and easy. Potty breaks (short and leashed) and back in for rest. Some dogs are fairly kethargic for a few days, some are more restless and whiny. Managing pain meds can be a bit tricky and may need some tweaking (under a Vet’s supervision of course).
STAY CONNECTED! We’re right here your side.
Can’t wait to hear about the homecoming! Get some sleep while you can!
