It was over 11 weeks and a lifetime ago that Turk
became a chew toy for a moment. After two major surgeries, lots of scheduled and emergency vet appointments,
and a minor surgery two weeks ago that resulted in this latest set of stitches, it looks like we have him all closed up. There are some issues that are likely permanent, but the incision is healed for which we are very thankful.
Today was the day to get the stitches out.
The shirt is gone, and he's happy to be chasing the ground squirrel in the wood pile. He has a speed bump because the skin behind the incision doesn't slide like it should, but it doesn't seem to bother him. We're just glad to have our buddy enjoying life with us.
I know you're as happy as he is. Glad the ordeal is over for you. Have fun on your upcoming river trip.
ReplyDeleteReally glad to be done with the dog challenges and really looking forward to time on the river!
