| Bojo needs well wishes I was searching the internet because my boy, Bojo, is at the vet hospital and I was looking for more info on his condition and I found this site. I thought perhaps joining and being among other Yorkie (all dogs really) lovers is probably the place I should be. So this thread with be a hello and what's happening with Bojo thread. I have two adorable Yorkies, Rosy and Bojo (Mr. Bojangles) They are both 2 years old and a joy. Rosy is laying here next to me as I write because that is what she does, gives endless cuddling. I am sure Bojo is on her mind as well. Yesterday we took Bojo the vet to be neutered. Dropped him off at 8:30 am, got teared up because he is my baby boy. Pick up time was 5pm but I arrived a half hour early because, well because I needed to see him and know he was fine. (I am sure those of you who have had to leave your baby know this feeling). He was groggy but happy to see me. I was given the standard instruction for neuters and we went on our way back home. Rosy was overjoyed to see Bojo back and they licked and Bojo, although tired, cleaned Rosy's face and ears (they take good care of one another). He seemed to be doing ok. I brought a little food and water to him ( the Dr. said not much the first night) which he ate and drank, I took him out for potty and he went, although he did yelp at lifting his leg. On this, I thought he is quite the talker (a lot as well as sings with a guitar) so maybe he just says it doesn't feel good louder than most. I make a special bed for him because I didn't think it wise to keep Bojo with Rosy the first few days of healing and its sleep time for us all. I wake twice to check on him. He is sleeping both times. This morning before we wake up and we go to take the dogs out. Bojo had gone under the bed and did not want to come out. We get him out and his sack is no longer black like the night before but very red and very swollen and bleeding. Not gushing or steady bleeding but enough for us to take notice and start to panic. I call work and take the day off, my bf and I assess the situation while my daughter calls the vet to let them know we are coming in. There is no asking for an appointment at this time, our only thought is to get Bojo in and seen, period. The Dr. sees him immediately and agrees he is bleeding more than he should and his sack is filled with blood. He is not sure at this point why or where as I had checked the sack before we left and stitches were intact. Dr. said he had to stay and to call at 4. I call at 1 and the Dr said he is thinks it could be a clotting problem. He is going to go back in. At 4 I call again and got vague answers and to call back at 4, I admit I got a little huffy, said I used to be a tech and wanted to know something so they put on the phone and he did talk to me. The Dr. did go back in, everything inside is as it should be but because he now has a low red blood cell count and the clotting they are going to keep him and may keep him until Friday. Bojo is awake and alert (very encouraging) and they are giving him meds and vitamin K. Tomorrow morning my bf will go visit and afternoon will be my turn. In introducing my babies I am also asking that anyone who may read this please send good well wishes out to Bojo, he needs all the positive vibes he can get right now. Tomorrow I will find out more. Tonight Rosy looks a little sad and lonely as we all do in the family and Bojo is first and foremost in our minds and hearts. Thank you |

| Oh my, I'm so sorry your sweet Bojo is having this problem. Did he have pre-op blood work done? If so, did it show he may have a problem with his blood clotting? I will say prayers for your Bojo for a speedy recovery. Welcome Yorkie Talk.

| Yes, everything was done and he was fine and healthy before surgery. I am hearing it is very rare for this type of thing to happen but it does occur. I will see tomorrow morning how he is doing. I want him home, I am having such a hard time coping with the fact that he is not here in his home with people who love him. Last night he was alert just not wanting to move around a lot. I chalked it up to every animal is different after surgery and respond differently. Plus he liked water being brought to him instead of him getting up to get it. It's going to be a long night. Thank you for prayers. |
