Update! Well, it turns out I was right to be concerned. Within 20 minutes after my husband leaving to take Angus for his dental this morning I got this overwhelming feeling he thought we had abandoned him and he was going to a new home again. I don't know why I felt that way because he's gone to the groomer's twice but that was before he and I bonded like we have now.
I tried sending him all the love and positive energy I could and just started to wait. At almost 2 PM I was going to call because I couldn't wait any more. At that moment my husband drove up with Angus and said they were unable to do the dental. He had told me Angus was fine when he left him this morning. No barking, no panicking. His pre-op check was fine. DH left him.
DH got a call a while later but didn't call me because we couldn't do anything. When they took Angus out of his cage he went totally nuts, they tried to calm and pet him but the more they did the wilder he got until he had a mild heart attack and turned blue. Everything is alright now and he is home and happy. The vet is treating him with some lasix and other things for two weeks and will then check him again. The dental is postponed for now.
I asked the vet and he agreed that I can stay with Angus until he is asleep if we are able to do a dental on him so he won't think I have left him.
A big Thank You to all of you who sent your prayers today. Angus needed them. |
