He's home!

Teddy's home! He had his surgery yesterday and was able to come home this evening. He seems to be feeling good, and I know he has to be feeling better given that he is now several pounds lighter following removal of that nasty mass, and his spleen. When he arrived at the OSU vet hospital, he weighed 86.6 pounds, and tonight he weighs his normal 72 to 73 pounds. (So we truly were NOT feeding him milkshakes and Oreos.) He is tired and looking forward to some chicken that is cooling on the kitchen counter (as is Maggie.)

As I write this, he is sprawled out on the floor behind me, and I can hear him gently snoring. What a sweet sound... 

Check him out when he got home, with his "power band" legwarmers (holding bandages where his IVs were) and his OSU bandanna, a complimentary parting gift from the fine folks at the vet hospital:

We will hear pathology results sometime in the following week, so we'll keep hoping and praying. For now, we are grateful to have him home with us again, and we are grateful that he is much more comfortable. Thank you Ohio State! I have said this before, when Sophie was being treated there, but we are so  lucky to have a top veterinary hospital practically in our back yard. Go Bucks!

Prayers for Teddy, please.

We received some difficult news about our sweet Teddy this weekend: He has large mass in his abdomen, probably on his spleen, and it has to come out tomorrow (Monday). We took him to the vet on Saturday, asked for an x-ray, and there it was. We then had to take him immediately to The Ohio State University, which is just across town, but seemed so far away given the seven inches of snow that was still falling at the time of transport. Teddy remains at OSU in intensive care until tomorrow morning. We thought they would operate immediately, but the vets at OSU thought he was stable enough to await a full surgical team on Monday. We had to leave him in their care until then because the mass could rupture, and then all bets would be off if he were at home. It could be cancerous, or not, and we won't know until it is biopsied. So, it has been a stressful weekend, and tomorrow will be a difficult day of waiting and hoping. So, if you are so inclined, think of our good boy, Teddy, and say a little prayer for him, and us, that God might smile on us all tomorrow. Let us hope that a really good dog gets to come home to the people who love him.
