For Demon's neuter and I'm stressing! LOL I think I need a drink. :D
I'm extra worried about him going under anesthetic since he still has one snotty nostril. I know he will be monitored closely but I'm still concerned.
There's also the possibility that he might be staying there for a couple days depending on if his URI acts up. They can give him his meds through IV. I almost aspirated him trying to give him liquid meds when his nose was completely blocked. I'm not doing that again.
So fingers crossed that the neuter goes well.. there are NO complications and the darn URI does NOT flare up. The poor guy had been through enough.

I know I'm a stressed out freak when it comes to anesthetic. But I think I'm doing good this time. At least I haven't cancelled this appointment. LOL
-
Good luck to poor guy :-* :-* :-*
I hope everything will be nice and easy :-* :-* :-*
-
AWWWWW dont fret! Everything will be fine...I know easier said than done.... But you'll see! Big hugs and kisses to Demon and sending quick and healing thoughts his way; let us know how he's feeling! XOXO :-* :-*
-
Thanks everyone.
He's one of the first ones for surgery in the morning. I'll update as soon as I know anything.
-
it'll be fine. it's routine and simple to do. I know it's hard not to worry, but everything will be fine. Good Luck!!!!
-
Well we dropped him off. I can call at 11am to find out how the surgery went. I'm nervous and barely slept a wink lastnight. :(
-
Dont worry! Sending my thoughts and healing vibes your way! Let us know how he's doing! :-* :-*
-
It's past 11am now. So what did you learn when you called, hope all went well.
-
It's 11:50 now and we are still waiting for news! :D
-
Sorry guys I got sidetracked. :-[
The surgery went fine! He's slightly wheezy so he's staying until Saturday so they can monitor him. :( I'm not sure if it's a reaction to the anesthetic or if the URI is flaring up. I'll know more tomorrow.
-
Thanks for letting us know, I was starting to worry maybe something bad had happened. At least now the neuter police won't come and take him away. ::)
-
Some dogs do better than others on anesthetia. Grace doesn't do well on it. she is out of it for days after and would prefer to wet on the carpet than get up and go outside. Glad he's doing ok after the procedure.

Lin, Demon is my kitty. The one I adopted from the humane society. ;)
He was very slow to wake up from the anesthetic. :( They said the amount he was given he should have been waking up within minutes. Hopefully he never needs to be put under again.
It looks like his respiratory infection is coming back. They said he's really snotty and sneezing but not super congested. They put him back on Clavamox.
So it look like I can pick him up tomorrow morning unless it gets worse.
I'm also debating on whether I should seperate Demon from Louie when he comes home so he can have some peace and quiet. Louie is all about playing.. and I'm sure Demon won't be in the mood. LOL
-
Demon came home Saturday. He's doing fine.. Resting in the spare room. Louie wouldn't leave him alone (tackling him trying to get him to play) so I had to seperate them. I think Louie missed his play buddy. Demon sure seems to be enjoying the peace and quiet though. LOL
-
I am glad to hear that kitty is doing well :)
Speedy recovery hugs and kisses to a little thing :-* :-* :-*
-
Happy to hear Demon made it home safe again.

He was snipped on the 20th so 5 days ago.. but he's still kind of sluggish. I know that's from respiratory infection. He's eating good just sleeping a fair bit. I know how he feels... I have a cold right now too and I sure don't feel like doing anything. LOL
He still has the same respiratory infection he had when I got him in July, it's never completely went away. We put the neuter off for 2 months just hoping his immune system would finally kick it, but nope. He's was on meds 3 times but it just came back as soon as they were finished. His immune system is litterally non existant. He was put on L-Lysine in an attempt to boost his immune system plus it's suppose to work well against feline herpes. It didn't help but I'm still giving it to him anyway. I even put him on a premade raw diet.. no improvement there either.. yet.
The vet said he may be snotty like this permanently. :( I feel so bad for him because that would suck and I completely understand why he's a miserable 'demon' LOL. It would be like having a cold 24/7 365 days a year. I'd be miserable too. :P
-
Poor Demon and his runny nose :'( I hope its not permanent. Glad to hear he is recovery from his "tutor" :)
