Scooter woke me up this morning by crying, looking at his butt and racing around. I saw his butt was all bloody so it was to the vet immediately. She said he had an abscess on his anal gland

so she and the tech took him away and expressed it and cleaned him up and gave him THE CONE. She said he has to wear it until Tuesday when she will check to see if he has to have the anal gland removed

Poor little guy, he keeps smashing into furniture and walls but he doesn't seem to mind his new headgear. I think I'm more upset about it than he is.
Has anyone else had this problem or had to wear THE CONE? I'm not looking forward to tonight. He usually sleeps under the bed part of the night and then sleeps on the bed for the rest. He cannot get under the bed so I hope he'll be comfortable on the bed.
I'm very worried that he will require surgery and from what I read, anesthetic and Yorkies don't mix very well.

So sorry to hear about Scooters problem poor little guy. We are praying for you little one. Maybe you won't have to go through surgery.

We know God cares about you babies even more than we mommies do.

Sorry to hear about your little guy.

It takes a couple of days for them to adjust to the cone. It's harder for us to watch them with it than for them to wear it.
