My Poor Dageus.

[Michael Rolls]

oh good - give him and extra treat (if not disallowed) with my name on it!

[Raven]

I will Mike, he always got a chew stick when we come back from our walks before this started. Now he's on soft treats so as not to hurt his mouth. Same for eating, it's pasta, rice, with scrambled eggs or chicken pieces mixed through.

Poor wee beastie.

Well that's Dageus at the Vet for his operation. He's really upset and the nurses had a hell of a job getting him downstairs to the holding pens. He saw I wasn't coming and he dug the heels in hard. Heaven knows how he's feeling towards me at the moment. I have deserted him and he's in a cage. Poor Boy I feel terrible for him.

Hopefully once it's done he'll forgive you.

You'd think they'd allow or even encourage owners to go to the pens with their pets. Especially if they are reluctant to go.

" getting him downstairs to the holding pens. "

I had to  read that twice. After the first time I said "Holding his WHAT?"

[Alex]

The vets encourage people to stay with their pets at their final hour because it's distressing for them, it's even said some know what is to happen. I stayed with my cats and held them when they were put to sleep.  I felt so guilty too, but there was nothing more to be done for them and they were both a good old age when they died.
 
I dunno why I'm telling you this, but it doesn't make sense Raven that you couldn't go down to the pen with Dageus if he was obviously so distressed, just to settle him down.

You wrote that at 9.45 so the operation will be over by now and he'll be recovering.  He'll feel so much better soon, we know ourselves nothing worse than bloody toothache !  Look forward to seeing more photos of him 

 

[Ashy]

hope he recovers ok.

One of our Yorkies had to be put to sleep after we took her to the vet, for what we thought would be for some treatment, during the first Covid lockdown.

Not being with her at the end of her life is something that haunts me on a daily basis.

I hope Dageus is ok.

[Raven]

Nurse just phoned, he had 3 teeth out. OMG 3. Poor thing, they were only talking about the one.
He's awake but not very happy, we are both going in at 4.20pm to have a talk with the vet then take him home.

That's The Hairy One home again. Poor souls like a drunk man staggering about. He's on soft food for 2 weeks, no chews, biscuits ect. Good job I got plenty of eggs, pasta and rice in.
He goes back to see the vet on Monday just for a quick check up. But I'm so glad he's back.

[Ashy]

Poor old dog, that's rotten luck but he'll get over it.

[Raven]

Thanks Ashy. He's just polished off a bowl of pasta and 2 scrambled eggs through it, a good night's sleep will help him a lot.....I hope.

[Diasi]

At least you've got him back home where he belongs & he'll soon adapt to having a few less teeth.

Good luck with that then 😃😃😃
So glad he's home

So glad to hear he is home, Raven - give him a pat from me
