Ozzy had surgery today. It wasn't planned and actually turned into somewhat of an emergency. He hadn't eaten or drank since yesterday and appeared very bloated. He was dry heaving and was passing TONS of gas. So a quick trip to the vet this morning led to xrays which led to immediate surgery after the vet could see the amount of gas in his belly. The surgery went well and luckily none of his organs had twisted due to the large volume of gas in them. The vet sutured his stomach to his abdominal wall to prevent future twisting and sewed him back up. The surgery also revealed some arthritis and discoloring of his liver (sigh) but this will all be secondary to getting him through his recovery. Mommy was able to spend some time with him and pet him this afternoon while he was waking up and Jace and Daddy did the same this evening. So far so good!
Get Well Soon Bubba! |
