Wylie is post-LP Surgery - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Wylie's Mom · 10-02-2012, 03:59 PM

Wylie had LP surgery yesterday - we picked him up about 7:30pm (his surgery was delayed all day bc of emergencies).

He is doing really well, although last night was tough when he started crying at 11:30pm and we couldn't help him

...we gave an extra 1/2 dose of pain meds, tried to help him pee, soothed him...all kinds of stuff, he was miserable. Finally, on the 4th time we put him on the pee pad, he peed BIG TIME. And right after that, he slept thru the night. Poor guy had to pee so bad, but just couldn't figure out how to do it with us supporting his back end. No poo poo yet, but I'm not surprised.

For those whose kiddos went thru LP surg, how long until they went poo?

The wraps come off Thursday, and I'm sure he'll be more comfy after that.

Look at his poor behind - all shaved! It's like a reverse mullet - party in the front, business in the back - poor baby! Wylie requests you don't show this to the female furs on here bc his man-package is totally exposed.

I am so sorry to him like that but know that he will feel better one day soon & be back to deviling his momma and daddy and siblings! Poor little guy looks like he's been through it and back again. Get well soon, Buddy.

I'm so sorry I haven't been on a lot lately and didn't know Wylie was having LP surgery on both legs. Poor baby. When Pixie had hers on one leg she was pretty quiet for 2-3 days after surgery and slept most of the time. I do remember she didn't poop for a couple of days. She wasn't eating much at first either. I will keep Wylie in my prayers for a speedy recovery.

Ny heart breaks for you and Wylie. Your poor beautiful little boy! It must be so difficult seeing your little one in pain. Try to keep in mind that Wylie will feel so much better after the recuperation is over. Your big, huge heart filled with love will help get Wylie through this. I hope Wylie heals very quickly and that he is soon free from pain.

Maximo · 10-02-2012, 04:20 PM

Wylie, I am relieved to hear that surgery went well! (Where were the headlines that you were having surgery? How did you escape the pupperazzi?) Reverse mullet, lol.

I hope all of your nights ahead are more peaceful, and I wish you a speedy recovery. Can you start walking right away, or do you have to stay on bedrest for awhile?

Sending gentle hugs to you little guy.

Samuelsmommie · 10-02-2012, 04:20 PM

Oh wow poor little guy! I really hope he gets to feeling better and praying for a speedy recovery! His photo just about broke my heart... Poor baby looks wore out.

How are you holding up?

Baby Teddy · 10-02-2012, 04:26 PM

Hope Wylie has a fast recovery! I promise not to show Piper Wylie's man-package

The Pupperazzi, lol! I love that. I never mentioned he was having the surgery bc I just didn't want to trouble anyone (lol! I know that sounds silly). But, he does need some extra lovin', so he'll be happy to hear of the lovin' on this thread

.

The vet said not to let him just sleep and lay around all day. He said to get him up each hour and have him stand and try to take a few steps while using a towel sling around his torso to hold him up. He said dogs do much better in recovery if you get them up and gently moving. I think this will be easier once we get the wraps off. Still though, I feel bad getting him up when he really just seems to want to sleep.

At first, Marcel and Pfeiffer were all interested...sniffing him like crazy. Now they seem settled, but kinda confused as to how mellow he is bc Wylie loves to play.

THANKS everyone for your sweet comments

Luckily, he's been eating really good today - and just finished his entire dinner....so maybe we'll get some 'movement' tomorrow. But you're right, he's probably a day behind on his digestion since he didn't eat a single thing yesterday, poor kiddo.

bchgirl · 10-02-2012, 05:00 PM

I'd say he's on the mend if he's eating well. That's great news!
