7 hours after Brodie's surgery began I finally got a call about my pup. He had a very big day... they performed a cystonomy to remove a large and small urate stone from his bladder and did a liver biopsy. Following this they checked Brodies liver shunt. They "closed" the shunt and Brodie immediately went into portal hypertension (within 10 seconds). It was determined that ligation was not an option for Brodie - even partial. Since his symptom from the shunt is production of urate stones they went ahead and performed a scrotal urethrostomy. Brodie was initially having trouble breathing on his own postoperatively, but is now doing so just fine. He is going to be monitored at Cornell and should be able to come home sometime this weekend. He will have to remain on LD Diet with low protein snacks and may have to go on medication as well to medically manage his condition as they couldn't "fix" it. I am so relieved my little one is okay and coming home soon! |
Thank you for the update! What a long day you had. I am so happy for you that Brodie is out of surgery and ok! :) I will keep him in my thoughts and prayers. |
Glad surgery is over and he came out well:) Sending more good recovery thoughts your way! I bet he can't wait to get home!:D |
Ahhh yeah lil Brodie, so glad surgery went well for him....Now onto recovery:) I wish you well |
I'm so glad that he came out of his surgery! I know this is not the news you wanted to hear but I'm hopeful that you will be able to medically manage the rest of his symptoms. |
Wow! I am so glad you took Brodie to Cornell for the surgery, aren't you? Hopefully he won't get blocked anymore and you can manage his symptoms with diet and medication. |
:woof: I'm so glad to hear he is out of surgery and doing well. I hope it is a downhill ride from here and that Brodie recovers very quickly. He sure is lucky to have you! I know this has been tough on you, I hope you can relax a little bit tonight. Please keep us posted on his recovery. We'll keep him in our prayers. |
I'm glad that Brodie made it through his very long day of surgery. It sounds like he is a little fighter. I hope the procedure they performed will improve things for him along with the diet/medications to manage the shunt. I'm sorry ligation was not an option but at least something could be done for Brodie. I bet you will be happy when you get him home! |
Wow! At least he should be more comfortable and not be getting blocked anymore! Tell him we love him too and hope he feels better real soon when you see him! Hugs and Kissies, |
The vets at Cornell have called me morning and night the last few days to give me updates on little Brodie. They say he is doing amazingly well and is healing perfectly. He eagerly eats and is trying to play! I get to pick him up tomorrow afternoon and bring him home :) :) I can't wait! thank you everyone for all of your support throughout Brodie's ordeal. You have all saved my sanity! |
Oh, that is just wonderful that he is coming home tomorrow! I know he will be happy to see you, too! :) |
