Back to the vet

Buddy had a check back with the vet 5 days after surgery to have his incision examined and his bandages changed. Then two days later I was concerned that he was coughing and the vet told me to bring him in. She listened to his lungs which sounded ok. She said he was probably vocalizing from discomfort – like we do when we try to stand up with stiff muscles. Then we were back at the vet today (two days after that) for his next visit to have his bandages changed and the incision examined.

Here is Buddy at the vet. He doesn’t want to be there. You see in picture 3 he wants out of the room. He’s tired of this vet office. I totally don’t blame him for that

Mommy do we really have to be here AGAIN?

Really Ma, can't we go home now? I don't like it here.

OK, see this door? I want to go out this door

I've had dogs and cats since I was 3. Currently my husband and I have 4 dogs and 5 cats. Dogs range from Buddy the 100-pound Golden, to Bella the 60-pound hound to Stubby the 40-pound Chow mix to Precie the overweight 20-pound mystery dog with the face of a Shitzu and the hair of a Yorkie or Schnauzer and the temperament of Attila the Hun! The cats rule indoors, the dogs own the back yard with a sleeping porch in the house at night. Buddy is 10 and in spite of our hopes that he could avoid this Golden trait, has started getting sarcomas and just had his front left leg removed. We have had many pets die over the years - lovingly buried and remembered. But Buddy going to 3 legs is a new world for us. thank you all for helping us in this difficult journey.
