<br>
It's been a while since I've posted, but I do read the posts when I can.
Now I desperately need some drool<br>
sent to my foster Boss. He bloated Friday evening and his stomach torqued
360 degrees...Fortunately, I <br>
know the signs, and rushed him to the nearest emergency vet. He needed
emergency surgery to save his life. Unfortunately, it was one of the most
expensive Emergency Hospitals in the area. : (<br>
<st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Ohio</st1:place></st1:State> Basset
Rescue is going to pay $3,000, and I agreed to pay the rest, but money is very
tight for me. He had surgery last night, which took an hour and forty
five minutes, but he came through well. Then today his incision was
leaking too much blood and there was concern that he could have internal
bleeding. I was devastated, but he needed to have a second surgery to
determine the source of the bleeding. <br>
<br>
I spent an hour with him prior to surgery, and then about a half hour
after. It turned out it was the vessels under the surface of the skin
that were bleeding and they needed to be tied off. I was very relieved,
but poor Boss was really miserable. The last 24+ hours have been
extremely taxing for both of us. ((((sigh)))) Would you please send
copious amounts of drool his way? He's been with me for close to two
years and I love him dearly...he's a senior with significant skeletal
deterioration, but he's a fighter and LOVES to go for his walks despite his
tendency to tumble. <br>
<br>
Once he comes out of the hospital, and I have the final bill, I will be taking
pictures of him and posting them on <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Ohio</st1:place></st1:State>
Basset Rescues website in hopes that folks will contribute to help pay the high
bill. He had staples from the top of his diaphragm all the way down the
entire length of his belly. Those staples needed to be removed during
surgery today to stop the bleeding. The surgeon stitched up half of the
incision and stapled the rest, and <br>
he's gone through so much. It broke my heart to hear him moaning and
crying when I was visiting with him after<br>
surgery. The poor guy looks sooooooo sad. The catheters they put in
his veins to supply the liquids and pain medication kept blowing out and they
had to keep putting a new one in. He's had his entire neck shaved, his
legs, and also his belly...it's so hard to see them in pain!!<br>
<br>
Life has been rough for poor Boss, and he's such a sweetheart. He came to
me with severe vertigo, recovering from a hernia surgery and newly
neutered. This all done to the poor fellow when he was picked up as an
abandoned stray. He's got significant arthritis, but is such a trooper
who loves to go for walks...and he loves to eat. : ) He wasn't
socialized and had significant fear aggression, as it appears that he had been
attacked by a <br>
larger animal while he was out on his own. He's got a large bald spot on
the tip of his forehead...right on the point. <br>
<br>
Please keep him in your prayers and hugs your houndies and encourage them to
send buckets of drool our<br>
way. I'm worn out and poor Boss is still in critical condition. Your
support is deeply appreciated. <br>
<br>
Jacquelyn<br>
