Another Operation for George

I haven't been on here lately as things have been a bit hectic recently with family stuff and work etc. as well as George being sick......

About 6 weeks George had blocked anal glands. He had them expressed and a week later we had to go back to the vets to make sure they were ok.

Whe we went back they were full again and so he got some antibiotics and they were expressed again.
A week later we went back to find they had become infected, and had an abcess whi and he got some stronger antibiotics.
I had to increase the fibre in his diet which I did and it seemed to help a bit, however a week later they were still blocked.

He went back in to the vets and they sedated him and flushed the glands out and he got more antibiotics.

A week later they seemed ok but just to make sure I got another week of antibiotics.

I went back to the vets on Wednesday to find his glands were full again and vet again infected. I got yet more antibiotics (stronger again).

On Tuesday he is having his glands removed (and since he will be in his other eye operated on too)
I wish his was all over for him as although he isn't in pain he definately is uncomfortable.

So fingers crossed my little boy will be ok on Tuesday as this will be his 2nd operation this year (the first one he had entropion). I just want him well again!

Poor George and poor you! I am so sorry you are going through this.
Positive thoughts for you.
My thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery. Poor darling George...feel better soon! :ghug:
What a year!! 8O
Hope all goes smoothly and George is feeling great again soon. :crossed:
Does George get a doughnut to sit on after the operation?

Poor guy, but with those glands clogging up like that, best to get them removed. Good luck with surgery on both ends, George.
I am sorry to hear about George's troubles. I hope this takes care of everything for him. Positive thoughts out to George on Tuesday. Hugs to both of you.

Please let us know how he does.
Poor George! Our dog we had when I was growing up had her anal glands removed. I can remember the first few days post op being tough, trying to keep her from dragging her bum, good luck to both of you!
Poor George.
POOR...BOTH of you!!!! :cry: :cry: :cry: Give George a gentle pat and sheepie hug from Heart..and please keep us posted!!!!! :crossed:
Maggie has repeated troubles with one of her glands and I've been thinking about having that operation for her. I hope it goes great for Georgie and that's the end of his surgeries.
Best wishes & prayers for George................
Poor George!
Best wishes coming over for him with the double surgeries on Tuesday :crossed: :crossed:
Poor Baby.... :cry:
Best wishes for you and George!

Thinking of George today. How is he? Have you got him home again yet?

Hugs from us to all of you. Remember its usually harder for us than it is for them!
George is not coming home tonight. :cry:

The operational was more complicated than they thought it was going to be as he had an abcess which they had to work around, so he is staying in over night :cry:

I have to ring up tomorrow to see if he can come home tomorrow
Awwww... He will be fine!!!!! Don't you get worrying!!!!!

He will be home tomorrow!!!

The girls send him loads of :ghug: and :kiss:

Oh poor you. Try not to worry. He'll be fine and he's in the right place until he's well enough to come home.

Still thinking of you all. Please let us know how he is in the morning. x
so sorry to hear of Georges troubles , hoping all turns out well
Oh poor George. hopefully he will be home tomorrow and you can give him lots of cuddles. Hugs to you, and Summer sends sloppy mucky (been helping dad in the garden) kisses. xxx
Poor Georgie. :(

But, it was best to get it all taken care as long as they were in there, and he was under.
Will be looking for updates tomorrow!
Sorry George has to stay in hospital. :cry:
I hope he's home and feeling better soon.

Poor George and mommy! Come home, George!
YEH George is home! :banana: :cheer:

Hes very sore and it took him a while to settle but hes been asleep for a couple of hours now.

He has lots of meds to take for the next few days but the operation looks as though it was a success!

Just need to get through the few days and wait for the bruising and swelling to go down.

Thanks to everyone for their support (as always!) :bow:
Aww, give George a hug from me!

Good news that he is home and doing better :D
So glad George is home again. Stop worrying now! Did you get him that doughnut to sit on? Sounds like he needs it! :wink: Have you got time off work to be with him?

Hugs and kisses from all of us to all of you :lol:
