Gizmo's Big Day is tomorrow - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Prayers for a safe neuter are coming. He might be picking up on you being nervous.

Judy in Waco · 09-28-2007, 02:01 PM

He's home!

The vet said that he did very well with the anesthesia, and he was very alert when we picked him up. His poor little scrotum is very red and irritated, and the tech explained that it was because of the shaving. He has the disposable stitches, so we don't have to go back to have them removed.

He also had five remaining baby teeth removed. All four canines and one in the back on top.

The blood clotting test went perfectly, so he's back to normal now.

They didn't send home any pain medicine. When we asked, they said he wouldn't need it. However, when we got home he was whining and whimpering like I have never heard him before.

So, since it was close to five on Friday, I called and they said to come in for some pain medicine for him, and my husband just went to go back for it. He came home with it while I was typing this and it's called Deramaxx. (I have to go look that up.) He can have a half of a 25mg tablet once a day.

He is trying to lick the quite a bit, so I think I'm going to have to figure out how to modify the onesie Wylie's Mom sent him.

Wylie's Mom rocks by the way!! Thank you!! As a gift to Gizmo, she sent two baby onesies and some bully sticks. Gizmo thanks you!

That was so sweet!

Thank you everyone! He's curled up on his little blankie right beside me.

I am so glad this day is over.

Wylie's Mom · 09-28-2007, 02:07 PM

You are MOST welcome! I am so glad little Gizmo came through with blazing colors. What a relief to have him home! Give him some kisses from us and load him up on the drugs!! YAY Gizmo!!!!!!!!!

Awwwww...sweet Gizmo!!!

We have been out of town and I just seen this.
Glad all went well and he is doing well!
Mojo recovered so quickly after his!

Thanks for the prayers.

Luckily, I didn't really get nervous until after we dropped him off this morning, so I hope he didn't pick up too much of my emotion about it all. I just felt a little guilty this morning that I couldn't give him any water. He was looking everywhere for it. We had to be pretty creative to distract him.

Rudys Mom · 09-28-2007, 03:27 PM

I'm so glad everything went ok for Gizmo today and he's back home resting.

I can't remember what they gave Rudy for his pain meds but I think I only gave it to him twice. I'm glad your husband went to pick him some up at the vets. Sounds like you and Gizmo need to go to bed early tonight.

Let us know tomorrow how he's doing.

twalla · 09-28-2007, 03:33 PM

Aww Gizmo, we are glad you are back home safe and sound!

Little Bit · 09-28-2007, 03:37 PM

So glad Gizmo came through his surgery okay! You can put the onesie on him up side down and then his tail (if it's long enough) can poke through between the snaps or you can unsnap one. But you will have to remove it for him to go potty. The only other alternative is an elizabethan collar. That seemed to work best for mine when they were neutered, as they can still do a lot of damage through a onesie. But maybe Gizmo won't be so rough. Please give him hugs for me! Hope his recovery goes very quickly.

Judy in Waco · 09-28-2007, 03:48 PM

Thanks everyone. The meds seem to be working. He even ate well.

Thanks Nancy for the info on the onesie. I was just trying to figure that out.

peanut · 09-28-2007, 03:49 PM

Poor little Gizmo, he will be back to his old self before you know it Judy, just give that baby some extra tlc and give him hugs from my crew....

paulapoo · 09-28-2007, 03:57 PM

Judy,
I had to come and check to see how your baby did! I'm so glad all is well and he's resting at home with you. I'm sure he'll be getting lots of TLC this weekend! Hugs from me, Otis and Oliver!!

Tink's Mom · 09-28-2007, 04:32 PM

Oh, I missed this earlier. Glad Gizmo is doing well. We always worry so much about our little furbabies.

I ended up cutting a little hole in the bottom for Tink's tail 'cause hers is a little longer than a stub and it was squished. I tried unsnapping a snap but the rubbing of her tail against the fabric bothered her.

Izzy Princess · 09-28-2007, 06:42 PM

Hi Judy - I just got home and this was the first thread I was looking for to see how our Gizmo made it today at the vets. So glad that he came through with flying colors and that you were able to get the pain meds for him in time...poor little guy.....he'll be sore for a day or two I bet and then back to his old self. Keep us posted tomorrow morning on how our buddy is doing. Izzy sends tons of puppy kisses and her turn is next Friday.

babi1542 · 09-28-2007, 06:50 PM

I am so glad that he is out and okay. Give him lots of hugs and kisses.

For My Coby · 09-28-2007, 08:35 PM

Coby sends high-paws to his little buddy!! He'll be feeling like himself in no time. I'm sure it was long day for both of you!!
