| Scooter's Neuter Today For those who don't know (or remember) Scooter had surgery 3 months ago to repair a defect in his heart. His follow up cardiac echo showed complete resolution and he was pronounced safe for anesthesia. Well, today is the day, finally. He goes in this morning for his neuter, two baby canine teeth removal, microchipping and nail trim. They are also going to get a urine sample to follow up on his elevated BUN and ALP from the past bloodwork. He might have a few of the molars that need to come out also, but I found him chewing on one yesterday, so that's one less tooth for the vet. :tongue4 Thank you to those who have been asking about Scooter and to those who have answered my many questions and concerns regarding his bloodwork, etc. I'm saying my prayers and keeping my fingers crossed but I am still nervous (just like everyone else who has had to leave their furbaby for a procedure).

| Both You and Scooter are in my thoughts and prayers today. I went through this with two of my babies last one week ago Monday. I know you must be even more of a wreck than I was because of his past heart problem. Keep us posted

| Thanks for all the prayers and good wishes. They really helped us!!!!!!!!!!! The vet called me at 9:30 and said that they were all done!!! He is now neutered, nail clipped, microchipped and urine done. He is starting to wake up and trying to stand. They also pulled 7 teeth, 4 canines and 3 molars). The urinalysis showed that his specific gravity was good so he is concentrating urine. No kidney issues This is what I was hoping for since his bloodwork was wacky earlier. I am so relieved. Now the struggle begins to keep him quiet and not lick his incision...any tips to help on this??

| My boys did really good the first night. They laid around and slept. The next day they thought things were back to normal and wanted to go full speed ahead. I had to put their crates in the dining room away from my other two for a couple of days. It helped to just let one out to potty, etc.. at a time. My vet gave the boys a shot to keep them from itching around the stiches. It worked wonders. They didn't ever bother them after the shot. Good Luck! I'm glad he is doing fine!!

| I'm so relieved that everything is A-okay. Sounds like Scooter is a healthy little boy. What a relief this all must be for you. Good luck in keeping him still. It's a challenge.

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | I'm so glad he is doing great, I hope he has a long healthy life now. I know my Rusty has thrived for the last 8 years after his heart surgery. Now you get to just sit back and enjoy Scooter

| He is doing very well today considering he had the teeth removed, too. He seems to be alittle uncomfortable this afternoon so I just layed down on the bed with him for awhile. He has energy, eating and drinking fine.
