whew, it's been a really stressful week, and today was just a real capper- I guess my comments onsite here have been leaning a little negative, sorry 'bout that. Won't bore anyone with the details, just lots of little things that mounded up. But today I took my little Max in for a simple neutering procedure- I'm an ardent believer in both buying only strays/pound dogs and getting them fixed right off. Max is the best dog I've ever had, really. Well, it went from being a simple inpatient visit to a complicate surgery due to one of the testes having migrated to up by his kidneys! So I'll pick him up, dazed and drugged, in the morning and he gets to spent the next week in an Elizabethan-collar (one of those cone-shape things that keep dogs from licking themselves) and being forced some rather nasty pills. Ugh, I got a male dog because I've had difficult complications from having females fixed. Major backfire there. I only hope that one of the sack of pills I'm to give him is something that will let him sleep off most of his recovery time. Awfully good thing we had time to establish a solid trust relationship before this, sigh.

Ouch, poor Max. Hope everything is back to normal soon Mary.

Poor Max! Wishing him a speedy recovery.
And I hope you have a better day today too Critter Painter!

Went out early and Max is now home. Just alittle loopy, and I will need to monitor him closely for about a week (like I'd let him out of my sight right now???) Thanks for your kind words!

Oh, poor Max.
If he gets agitated while recooperating, get some Bach Rescue Remedy for him. It will calm him down almost immediately and hey you can use it too for those really stressful times.:)

Aw, sorry this procedure was rougher than
it should have been, for both of you.

I understand about going through a bad spell,
I hope that things start to ease up for you,
and that Max gets to feeling all better real soon.

My heart goes to you and Max. It's so hard when something unpleasant happens to our animal companions. I always wish they could talk, just so they could whine when they're in pain :)

Glad to hear that Max is in such caring hands!
