More bad luck

[Jakkalsdraai]

End of last year I lost my Collie dog because of an infection in her pancreas. She was only 4 years old. That was a great loss to our family as she was my oldest son's best mate. They went everywhere together.

Well now more bad news. My black Alsation "Winston" went in for an op to be neutered.

He now has infection after the op and he has to have another major operation. His whole hind quarters are swollen and the vet reckons that "Winston" has about a 50% chance to survive the operation. Reason being that he is too weak at the moment. The problem is whatever medication they have given him to improve his strength so that they can operate has not worked. He has been at the vet's for 3 days now. So now the vet has to make the decision to operate or not. They putting him on a drip this morning and if he does not look better by midday they are going for the operation.

I know this is just a dog but it is my best mate and he has physically protected my wife against a burglar when I was away. (About 2 years ago) Let's just say that burglars arm and face will not look the same again. Why did i have him neutered? Well because neighbors were complaining about him jumping the wall and looking for some female dog ass....... Apparently not the easiest customer to show away either lol.

Anyway please leave a thought for Winston.

Jakk,

Best wishes from me and my family for Winston to come through this. As you say, he is a dog, but he is also a valued member of your family.

All the best mate.

I know what it's like to lose a family pet. Fingers crossed for you.

Had a holiday in South Africa last year, had a fabulous time.

Thanx MX,

Not so good news. He will be operated 3pm. They will only use gas as an anaesthetic. Apparently he is too weak for normal anaesthetics. He seems to be weakening the whole time. I don't know what those vets f*cked up but it's pretty clear that he has a very small chance of pulling through. I asked them what happened and they are very vague. Man they could of operated like three days ago. Assholes.

Hi guys thank you for all the well wishes. Winston made it through the operation yesterday afternoon. The vet then gave him a 60% chance of survival. Unfortunately he had a relapse at 11pm and went into semi-coma. He died at 4am this morning. My wife and myself went to say goodbye at 7 am. Jeez guys a simple neuter. Just still do not understand. Anyhow that is that.
