Gunnar is doing well this morning. I went to bring him some food because of his special diet and he was perky, ears up, eyes bright and happy to see me. He ate a whole can of venison and rice. The incision is really icky looking though, kinda frankenstien like all the way up his belly and down to his penis, looks like they detached his penis and stapled it back on, ouch! They will montior him for a while today and as long as he doesn't vomit the food I should be able to bring him home tonight.
I don't fault the vet with the decsion, based on his status when I brought him in and what they thought they saw on the x-ray surgery seemed like an imediate necessity. I do however hope the price will not be quite as high due to him not having to actually open the bowels up. I guess I will find out when I pick him up.
He barked and cried when I left, broke my heart . I have to work a 12-9 shift today so I will leave to get him and then my mom will come stay with him at my house and keep an eye on him for me.
Thanks again for the well wishes and I will update tonight after work.
