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

Morning everyone. Well I think the crisis maybe over Woody slept from 9 pm till 8 am soundly so I took the chance and slept too apart from checking on him twice I had a good sleep and feel a bit more normal. Not managed any fibre yet so I'm going to speak to my vets today see if I can give him the slippery elm or the pumpkin. I may pop him along just to get wound checked as I think he may have a little infection as it's quite red this morning maybe just paranoid but better safe that sorry.

Tracy:
Glad to hear that you and Woody got some much needed rest. You are being smart taking him with you to get examined, that way things are caught early if any problems are present. I sure hope for no infection on his part. Things go a lot easier when you have some rest, and everything seems to be less stressful. Hoping for a good report from the Dr.'s. Blessings

Well back from the vets and there,s no infection and wounds are all looking good. The vet gave him some extra AB,s just in case and we,ve to go back Wednesday for it to be checked. He said usually the wound breaks down in the first 2-3 days and as we are day 6 we may get away with it. He agreed it is red but said this would be due to the colitis he had at the weekend. Emma the locum vet was there and we,ve not seen her since before Woody was diagnosed so she came to say hello. She has a lovely manner with Woody and he instantly feels at ease with her so she got lots of kisses and cuddles from Woody and I got that eye again you know the one where he,s still saying "still gonna pay for this mother" lol. Both vets are impressed at how Woody has bounced back and how good he was looking and I have to say considering all he,s been through this last week he is looking great, and quite bright I have put up some more pics of his recovery. :)

Great to see a positive report :) Woody will get you alright.. he will lick and kiss you to pieces when this is all over ;)

Tracy:
So glad to hear Woody got a good report. He is a remarkable dog with all he has been through. There will be ___ to pay when he gets well mom! You are doing a great job managing all this. Blessings

Hope you and Woody had another good nite of rest. How is the boy looking this morning? He will be getting better and better every day and before you know it all this will be history. Did they happen to tell you when he must start chemo? It is to be 70 here today, hope you and Woody have a good day, he is one step closer to being able to go outside and explore his kingdom. Blessings

We had another restful night up twice for toilet then settled straight away and we both slept late. He has been ok today managed to get fibergel into him and he,s had diar since so I'm not giving him anymore and going to stick to the all bran that I gave him yesterday. He has vet tomorrow for a wound check then back to hospital on the 5th Nov to get stitches out and it will be at this appointment that we discuss the next step of chemo etc they also want to redo the urine culture to see about the bug that was found in it. Woody has lost just over a kg in weight in 3 wks due to diar etc and I've lost 9lbs which we both needed to do but what a way to lose weight lol. I have re named Woody to poopy bum Steele our surname and when you say it to him he wiggles his tail
