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.

He said it was as big as his fingertip. No visible carrot but he had not cut into the mass yet when I spoke to him. He will do another biopsy to make sure it is not diseased. He said even if they don't find carrot, it could have been lodged for a time to cause inflammation which created a polyp type thingy.

Ted is in hospital about an hour away; so I went over there from work but they would not allow me to see him tonight. Naturally I was petrified something is wrong but they assure me he's ok and was still out of it and just didn't want him to move or anything. If all goes well, he may come home Wednesday. Thank you everyone. Not out of the woods yet..but almost. I sure do miss my wee man. luv corrinne xoxox

I've been following this thread...I'm glad that your baby is on his way to recovery. Any word on when he can come home?

Theodore · 01-26-2010, 07:04 AM

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

That is so wild that a corrot would do that. I am so glad that he is doing well and I bet you do miss him. I am sure he misses you too. It will be good to get him home. when does he get to come home?

megansmomma · 01-26-2010, 07:07 AM

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.

Theodore · 01-26-2010, 07:16 AM

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!

ARCHIE · 01-26-2010, 07:43 AM

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,

Theodore · 01-26-2010, 08:33 AM

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

ladyjane · 01-26-2010, 02:21 PM

Are you able to visit with Ted today?

YorkieMom6 · 01-26-2010, 08:54 PM

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.
