Maximo · 06-11-2009, 03:39 PM

Thank you 4doggiemama for your well wishes -- I was a complete wreck yesterday, but my Maximo sailed through surgery (including having 5 baby teeth removed!). Our wonderful vet, under great pressure, allowed me to bring Max home before dinner. Thankfully I work from home so I was able to keep an eye on him all day (rather, he spent the entire day reassuring me that he is fine).

Regarding the skin scrape, I decided not to have it done. I dabbed a little olive oil -- extra virgin, cold pressed -- on it and the little bump is already going down. My guess is that the bump is essentially a pimple -- which the vet said it could be. I'll monitor it closely and thanks to the helpful responses in this thread, I won't sweat Max having a little skin scrape if necessary.

Thanks again for your kind thoughts.
