He is on pain meds, and has started to eat a little, so we are happy at this point with his recovery. While he was only to get tacked for bloat, they discovered a bunch of undigested oak leaves in his stomach. We do not know how long they have been there, or whether the leaves caused the bloating episodes, or he ate the leaves due to tummy upset. They had to open his stomach up for this and all leaves were removed, even the total intestines were checked and no more were found. Time will tell on what was causing him to bloat up, we were fortunate, in that the 7-8 times he bloated up over the last 2 months, his stomach did not twist. But I felt that it was a matter of time and would rather do the surgery when his body was not in shock from it twisting. It was a good thing since they did find the leaves, all undigested, not sure how long they had been in there.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'><i><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>Yesterday afternoon, I went and picked up a 12-13 yr. old Beagle, named Hunter. He is just precious and is getting along with all. However, his breathe could knock you over. In his vet check this morning, we found he has abscesses in a couple of teeth and more than likely fistulas. I hate they let him get this bad, but I know after his dental on Thursday, he will start to feel better. We have him on antibiotics and pain meds for a few days to get the infection down before the procedure. He is healthy otherwise. His owner has cancer and could no longer care for him. I will have his picture on FB a little later on toady on the Senior Houndsabound page. <o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'><i><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>I hope the Bridge gates close for a while, too many are leaving of late and while I feel comfort knowing who all is up there greeting them, it is still sad for those left behind. <o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'><i><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>Hugs and drool to all,<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>Wen and the Bounders<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'><a href="http://www.seniorhoundsabound.org">www.seniorhoundsabound.org</a><o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'><o:p> </o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'><o:p> </o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'><o:p> </o:p></span></i></p></div></body></html>
