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

Well Woody is not so good tonight, he is going through the involuntary pooing stage, he doesn't know he is doing it, he just jumps up and its there. He,s not at all happy about this and he has been trying to scoot his butt which he managed once and made it bleed a little. I,ve been trying my best to reassure him that its all alright but he is panicing keeps looking at his bum area and looking at me. He,s not in any pain but I think he is just in shock. He has a worried look in his eyes. This was to be expected but as this is now day 4 I thought he had gotten away with it. If he keeps trying to scoot I,ll speak to the hospital and see if there,s anything I can do for the moment I am just saying no. I,m still being cheery around him so I think we could be in for a long night but hay ho.

Oh poor little Woody. I'm sure it's a shock to smell something, jump up and see poop. It if it was me, I'd be a bit worried too. Although we know it isn't actually something to worry about, just that the area has to be cleaned a lot to keep any fecal out of his wound. Yep, I bet you are right, long night, if he keeps trying to bum scoot. :(
Hopefully this won't last long, and is just one of the stages that too shall pass.

I've had to put a call into the vet hospital as Woody passed blood yikes. They are calling his surgeon and ringing me back fingers crossed its nothing to worry about bit the nurse thinks he has disturbed the wound :(

Keeping fingers and paws crossed that it will be okay.

Right here, waiting with you. Hope all is well.

Surgeon just rang asked loads of questions but seems to think that it is unlikely the wound but more a touch of colitis or a reaction to his meds in turn making him poo loads clean him 4 times in an hour. She does want to see him in the morning and will ring me at 9 am to arrange a time. For now I've to monitor him and keep him calm. She was a bit surprise to hear the he was pooing himself as if there going to be incontinent then it's usually from day one. Woody for the moment is resting and he won't let me near him I,ll monitor him from a distance. I knew it was going to well lol

Awwwww. This seems to be the night for poo.
I hope that Woody is much improved by tomorrow.

Well I'm glad that they don't seem to think it is anything too serious but will be checking it out anyhow.

Nothing is ever entirely simple it seems, even recovery. :) You're doing great though. Try to get some rest when you can tonight, that's a long drive on no sleep.

Yes, recovery can be a bugger that's for sure. I hope it is just bit of upset tummy too, you keep Woody calm and we will do our best to keep you calm!! I would not let him jump on anything, or do even steps, jump in car etc to try keep as little strain on it as possible. Little devils though are quick as anything when you have your back turned!!

Hope all goes well with your appointment in the morning Tracy! x

Thanks everyone Woody is still pooing for Scotland so I clean him up best I can and best he,ll let me then clean the house. I've not taken him out at all so not to stress him with stairs etc. He is calm as long as I have my hand on his head. I'm soooo tired I've not really slept in days well weeks really so I'm having a milky hot chocolate see if I can drop off for an hour or two. The clocks her went back an hour for winter and your suppose to get an extra hour in bed not gonna work for me this year lol

Dogs huh who we,d have them ........well all us off course x
