I'm glad the surgery went well. Sending prayers and hugs to you and TJ.:)

Glad surgery went well. Praying for a speedy recovery.

Just reading this and so sorry TJ and his Mommy had to go through so much. Sending hugs and well wishes

So glad to hear his surgery went well... hoping the liver issues work out as quickly..

Im so sorry the little one is sick, IM glad he is at the hospital though, sending you prayers and yorkie hugs

I am so sorry that your pup is having difficulty. It sounds like you were right on top of things getting him to the ER as soon as possible. Thankfully the surgery went well and he is resting. I hope his liver results are good. Keeping you both in my prayers.

Nicole...I am so sorry you and TJ have had to go through this, and will say a prayer for a quick and complete recovery. Hugs to you!

So glad to hear the surgery went well. I hope he is on the mend and back to himself in no time.

Sending special prayers for your little TJ. I hope he's home with you very soon and feeling much better. Sending my best. My brain turns to mush, too, when things like that happen. It's just normal, when it involves a very loved little pup.

I really appreciate all your well wishes. I finally got sleep last night, but now its all settling in. I really can't believe we are here. It all happened so fast!

Dr. called and said TJ was doing well. He is already peeing from the new hole, he said it's a bit inflamed but that is expected. TJ is on the Fentanyl so at least his pain is under control. But I can't help to think how scared and confused he is...

Dr. said he is only eating a little bit, they are giving him Hills l/d
We are going to visit him today, I asked if I should bring some food for him, bc in my mind I couldn't help to giggle a little bit, when Dr. said the liver food they are feeding him is probably very similar to what I feed, but he just isn't eating a lot of it. I homecook for them, so trust me his home food is very very different. So this morning I am making some fresh batches to bring to him. I miss him so much :(

Roxy is not herself either. She is very quite, when she normally would have anxiety barking bursts. Her potty behavior is 100% perfect! She keeps looking around for him. This morning when we came downstairs to eat, I put her plate down and she ate, but was shaking the entire time. I think she is stressing over him too. I am going to bring her to the hospital to see him, hopefully it will reassure her that he's still here.

What a weekend.

Thank you all for helping me through it :)

Nicole, I'm just now seeing this. I'm so sorry little TJ had to go through this, but I'm so happy to see your update that the surgery went so well. He'll be coming home tomorrow? I'll keep him in my prayers for a quick recovery.

Hugs for you both,
Bonny

Just found this thread and I am praying for you and TJ.

I also just found this thread and wanted to let you know that we have our fingers and paws crossed for TJ and our gang want to wish him a speedy recovery and lots of love from
Anita, Zoe, Zach, Chloe, Cleo and Oliver.

Nicole,
That's great TJ is doing well. :) I know it will be a great reunion. Keeping you guys in my thoughts and prayers. :)

Thank you for working on his E Collar so quickly! :)

Well...Dr. called this morning saying TJ was doing well. They are taking him off the IV and pain drip, and continuing with Antib's and oral pain meds.

He feels I should pick him up today because TJ isn't eating for them. They said he ate a little on Sat but that pretty much it!

I have butterflies in my tummy :(

I hope TJ's homecoming went well. Give him hugs from us. I hope he has a great recovery!

Ahhhh! Welcome home TJ! Nicole...you will do great with him, giving him TLC. He will be so much happier to be home where he is in familiar surroundings and loved! *HUG*

I'm sure he will be much more comfortable at home and will be happier eating your home-cooked meals ;) Hopefully he will recover quickly.

I know you have your hands full right now. I hope your sweet boy is doing better at home and eating some.

Nicloe, you are welcome! I am so glad that TJ is doing well enough to go home! I know you thought it would another day before he would be home. Hope all is well and calm now. I am sure he is so happy to be back home with his mommy and sis. :)
Hugs!

How is little TJ feeling this morning? Is he eating now that he's home?

Bonny

He was happy to come home for sure. BUT he still won't eat at home either, it's been a struggle bc I won't put the chicken in his food anymore...So he is only eating a tiny bit :(

He is extremely uncomfortable. He cries and wimpers all the time. He constantly feels the urge to pee, which in his small area that he is confined too, he is peeing (or trying to pee) on everything all the time. His pee still has blood in it. I feel so bad for him :(

Last night I slept on the floor with him and every 15 mins or so, he was up and peeing and trying to pee on the pads, his bed, my make shift bed, the blankets, the towel under his water bowl...This went on all night. And he would cry and wimper. All in all I got about 1 hour of sleep, and am at work right now barely thinking straight...

I am hoping each day gets better :( :( :(

Nicole I would call the vet about this - this just sounds like too much pain. It almost sounds like hospital pain management might have been a better option.

I hope TJ is feeling better. Does he have a pain patch? When Sammy had surgery he came home wearing a Fentanol (I don't know how to spell it) patch. He wore it for 2 or 3 days then we went back and they removed it. Sending prayers for TJ. Feel better sweetie!!!

Nicole and TJ I just saw this and I am so sorry that TJ and you have to be going through this. I am sending prayers that TJ's discomfort eases and that he feels better soon so that Nicole's anxiety can ease as well. I am sure there might be some swelling from the area where they had to enlarge his urethra so that may be causing him the discomfort and the urge to pee. Like with an urinary tract infection you have the urge but there is nothing really coming out. Best wished to your whole family.
