Thank you, ladyjane. Wish he was here with his little nub waggin. |
I'm so happy to hear Ted is doing well. Hoping he has a quick recovery and that you can breathe a little more now. |

Thank you, Orinurse, they said he could probably go home wednesday. They want to redo the biopsy and make sure he will eat. Surgeon said it was a pretty invasive surgery but not as invasive as going through the top of the nose which he was worried he would have to do if he couldn't get it out through the palate. I'll let you know when he's home safe and sound and pawing at me for treats. luv corrinne |

Wow! I am just seeing this amazing story now. I am so glad that you were as persistant as can be to get your baby the help that he needed. Many years ago we had a Lab that loved popcorn. I would toss pieces up into the air and she would eat it. One day I noticed something on her eye and took her to the vet. I told him that I thought she had a popcorn kernal stuck to her eye on the conrnea. He told me that I was CRAZY that it would be impossible for that to happen.................until he removed it and looked at me stunned. I was 100% correct! I know this is by no comparison what you have gone through but it just goes to show you that strange things happen and we just need to follow our instincts when it comes to our pups. I am so happy to hear that Ted's surgery went well and that the surgeons were able to successfully removed the cause of his problem. |
Thanx, Megansmom. It has been quite the ordeal and so frustrating. At first I assumed the vet was right and the "carrot" was irrelevant but when it kept getting worse i kept repeating my "carrot" ordeal until finally wound up at specialist who said "It's possible." We have a lab too "Wallace." The big guy is bummed out every time I leave and come back without Ted. He's such a big gentle giant. He was here first. We got him from the pound, and they told us he was a runner and his family got sick of getting calls from the pound. He only spoke Armenian...haha; so it was fun trying to teach him English. Ted was my daughter's dog and came to live with me when he was eight months (he was two on Sunday). But Wallace just put up with his little antics and now they're best buddies. Whenever Ted was having trouble breathing, Wallace would go up to him and sniff him all over as if to say "What's wrong little buddy?" so cute. Jeeze popcorn, carrots....who knew food could cause such trouble. I'll let you know when he's home. luv corrinne |
thanks for updating. I was trying to get on yesterday but had trouble with internet due to weather conditions here. :( Glad that Ted is on the mends. :) It is so good to hear that he did well in surgery. Wednesday will be here before you know it. :) Sending you and Ted a great big hug! |
I am so happy to read Ted's surgery went well. Thank heavens you were persistant in your thinking. Can you just imagine how uncomfortable poor Ted must have been with a lump in the back of his throat? Bud and I wish your baby boy a very speedy recovery and hope today flies by so tomorrow can come for both of you, Hugs, |
MomtoHotRod and Archie, thank you so much for keeping up with Ted's adventure. It sure has helped to have everyone rooting for him. When I get camera, I will post some pics of my little teapot. luv corrinne |
Are you able to visit with Ted today? |
What an incredible journey and what a relief that they finally 'heard you' and found the problem. I have held you both in my thoughts and prayers and I will continue to do so until little Ted is all better. Huggs |

OMGosh... I am sooo sorry. I have no idea what happened. It kept saying that my time ran out and so I rebooted... only to find multiples. I am so sorry. |
I just wanted to check in on you and Ted. I'm so happy to hear his surgery went well and I hope he gets to come home to you today. |
TED IS HOME!!! Yippee. His breathing sounds like heaven (can't hear a peep). Final diagnosis says: rhinotomy for mass excision - severe rhinitis with granulation tissue. Since they can't prove the "carrot" caused it since they did not find a piece in the mass, they said they will do some more research and possibly put him on small dose preventative steroids so that inflammation does not return and cause same thing to happen again. I'm hoping they don't go that route cause steroids scare me in the long term. Meanwhile, they have him on Hills i/d food. He has always been on kibble (natural balance last few months); so I hope this will be okay for his sensitive digestive tract, but he can't have anything hard not even 1 kibble. Anyway, thank you for all your support. He is sporting a polk-a-dot pain bandange and seems ok for now (pain meds in a little while). I'm afraid to look in his mouth, but I know there are stiches back there. So glad to have him home safe and sound and effortlessly breathing again. thank you everyone for rooting for my Wee Ted. luv corrinne |
:cheer: Oh that is great Ted is home with his mommy! :cheer: Now mommy can get some rest destress!--hopefully. I bet you are just watching him sleep, lol. I know I did that when Hot Rod came home from his surgery. Give Ted a big gentle hug from Hot Rod, Maggie May and me. :) |
Thanks, momtohotrod. yup, just staring at him. He's not really out of it cause his surgery was on Monday, but he is resting. Are you a Rod Stewart fan? Figure you must be with a little Rod and Maggie May. I'm from Scotland originally; so Rod's been our superstar for ever (just like your Rod). xo |
Yay.....Ted is home. I'm sure you are so relieved and happy that is obviously breathing easier. Best wishes to little Ted and a speedy recovery! |
thank you, Orinurse. Yes, listening to him breathe is such a relief. Even though his little inside of his mouth must still be hurting, he must feel so much better not working so hard to catch a breath. thank you. xo |
Oh, I am so happy to hear you have your little Ted back home and his breathing is better! Wonderful news indeed! I wish him a speedy recovery! :) |
So glad to hear that little Ted is home and ready to begin mending. Sending you loads of good thoughts and prayers! Huggs |
Hi, Yorkiemom and Ladyjane. Thank you so much. Up for his last pills of the night and he won't eat what they're hidden in. Worked just fine earlier but now he won't touch a thing. Any tricks anyone? why can't they just give us liquid. Usually his dad puts meds to the back of his throat, but we can't do that cause he has stiches. aye aye aye. |
Not sure if this will work for you or if he will even eat it, but I had success once hiding a pill in a piece of tuna (yup from the can). She sniffed it out of the piece of chicken but the tuna went down immediately. No other ideas, but thought I would give it a try. Good luck! |
We're in luck. I have tuna in the fridge. I'm off to try it. Thank you. fingers crossed. xoxo |
I hope it will work for you or you find something that will. I know all too well the frustration of having to give meds but having to hide them in order to administer.... not fun. |
