Mickster came out of surgery fine on Thursday. I went to the vets after work to pick him up. He was poor Mickey Alien Conehead and he was PETRIFIED of the cone. I've never seen anything like it... when he saw it out of the corner of his eye, he screamed and jumped back as if there was something there that frightened him. He had a drain in his chin/jaw, that looked like something impaled him, and he needed to keep it on to protect that drain. So, for the next 2 days I endured CONSTANT crying. I mean CONSTANT. Even while sleeping, he whined... and when he woke up for whatever reason, he screamed cuz the cone scared him. He wouldn't go outside potty without me right next to him. When one of the other dogs came too close, he screamed. THANK GOD Dr. Bart took the drain out yesterday and now Mickey's normal and acting like nothing happened!! He's got this huge hole where the drain was, and the whole site just skeeves me out... I'm not good with bloody flesh and that stuff.. it gives me the chills everytime Mickey shows me his neck!!
I took some pix, they're not very good, but I'll post them later this week. I forgot to take my camera with me to work today, dang it!! But Mickey's doing 100% better and hopefully this abscess won't return!!
Thanks for everybody's good thoughts for my Mocha Mickey Budda Belly Muckalucka!!  |
