Confused and Overwhelmed-Diagnosed Anal Sac Carcinoma (Woody has passed)

Evening all, I am so glad I gave you all the giggles as you have kept me going through all this as well. When I sat down and thought of everything I,d been through today I did have to laugh out loud it wasn,t funny at the time I assure you of that :p I didn,t tell you he made I right show at me at the vets, he was one stubborn little dog refusing to walk into the surgery and was given me the look of "your gonna pay for this Mother " so I was all a fluster trying to get him to go in when the vet came out and said "aw Woody what have they done to you " and he was off trotting behind the vet quite the thing, then after his examination and jags as always Craig always kneels on the floor to speak with him and Woody was trying to get up on his knee so he took the collar off and gave woody a good all scratch and he looked at me like "oh your really gonna pay this is how I,m suppose to be treated " then licked the vets face :eek:

So tonight he has been really good sleepy but very settled so I decided to go to my nieces birthday party she turned 18 today and I wasn,t going to go but did, I was only out less than an hour and came home to find him still asleep, I,ve just been to try and walk him and he got to the top of the stairs looked at me, looked at the stairs so I went off to get the mattress, hauled out the bedroom, dragged it to the stairs and yup Woody was at the bottom lol. I swear this dog is making me pay for all he,s went through. Again Woody makes me laugh everyday sick or not.

I had Emma the IMS on the phone earlier this evening with his bactology results from his prostrate flush, they have found a bug in this and guess what its multi drug resistant and not normally found in the urine, there not worried about it and for the moment we,re doing nothing about it, until he gets his stitches out then they will repeat the urine culture and take it from there. This could only happen to Woody lol I,m not worried about it and will deal with it along with everything else he throws at me.

The visuals of your saga are killing me - in a good way. Please take a photo of going down steps on a mattress. That was my first good laugh... then the pj's... oh my that was funny... and it goes on and on. Thanks, I think we ALL needed a good hard laugh. Continued best to you and dear Woody. Kim

Oh I am so glad you were able to go to your nieces birthday party.

Yes indeed, you are going to pay for what you put Woody through. The nice thing is that he loves you to pieces so as soon as he feels better and the stitches are done with, he'll be right back there as you at the cats meow to him. :)
I'm sure he had a good time, giving Craig the vet kisses, while showing you whats what. Oh woody, woody, woody. He is a hoot isn't he.

I'm with Kim, pictures of that mattress escapade please. That sounds so ..um.interesting!

hugs,

Hope you've had that glass of wine by now! I'm sure those here who have had their dog home soon after surgery can relate to the panic and stress you've been under.
Woody seems to have weathered all this in an amazing way, and you're doing a great job with all the post-op care! In another day or two the wound will probably be so improved and the comfy collar will make a big difference for him. Keep up the good work! ;)

That little Woody has a real sense of humor, doesn't he? "Gotcha, Mom!"

Tracy:
I often talk about the intelligence of the Jack Russells. Woody is really smart and is plotting about how to get back at you for all this. It sounds exactly like something Tipper would do to me. I am glad you made it to your nieces birthday party, as she is a wonderful beacon of light in yours and Woody's lives. I know you have been through a lot, and you have a wonderful attitude. I am sure with Terry gone the bacteria issue will be solved when he heals up. You have a wonderful place to take him to there, I wish I could say the same. I am glad Woody slept while you were gone and that he is improving every day. Blessings

Afternoon everyone Woody has had an uneventful night tried and failed to get up on the sofa as I wouldn,t let him jump the look was priceless. He has woken up how can I put this "like a new dog" full of beans, and wants to cause mischief lol His comfy collar arrived today Yay, but as I was trying to blow it up he stole it off me and started to rag it like a toy :rolleyes: Guess he doesn,t realise that he is suppose to be sick. He took all his tablets and as had his bottom cleaned twice, he is still not really pooing but still thinks he needs to if you get what I mean. He is now fast asleep at my feet and we will be having a lazy day.

Hope everyone has a good weekend ;)

Glad to hear Woody's recovering from the surgery so well, and getting his mojo back!

Tracy:
You Woody is a wonderful child. I am glad he is getting on with his recovery very well. I have a soft collar for Tipper too and she went nuts when I tried to blow it up, jumping at it trying to kill it. They are all a little touched with the crazy bug in their little heads. I love hearing all of Woody's little antics, it makes my day knowing he is doing well now. God Bless you both

Patti,
I have news for you. It's not just Jacks. Dachshunds are crazy enough to not be afraid of badgers. They have to be nuts for that. :-)
