Poor little Deuce. I hope he recovers quickly.

Poor Deuce, I hope he recovers quickly and the wound does not bother him while healing.

Deuce is doing fine. He ate his dinner and I was able to give him his antibiotic. His plumbing is working well so things look pretty good. It was a Cuterebra in his neck. It was a small larvae but there was a rather large inflamed area. The cut for removal is about an inch long. I didn't count the stitches yet. I have wound care twice daily with hot compresses and an antibiotic to apply. We go back in a week and stitches come out in two weeks. The vet has 30 years in Alexandria, VA. Only has seen about 6 of these worms in his practice. I think it was our mulch pile in the yard!

He has two canine teeth extracted because they were loose and a cleaning. Two more teeth are questionable but we left them in to watch and see where we are with the next cleaning. I will have to step up his teeth hygiene and see if we can make a difference.

He sat in the window and looked for his cats so he seems to be doing pretty good. Right now he's in his blue bed. That's serious sleeping so we'll see how he is tomorrow.

BTW the stitches are in an awkward location so I knew I wouldn't be able to put on his harness. The vet didn't want me to put a collar on him. He's not going to be happy about all his potty needs on a pad. He only uses it when we're not home.

Thanks for all your good wishes. Will keep you posted.

Deuce is adorable. Very happy to hear all went well today, and that he ate dinner. Max and Teddy give him two paws up for being a champ.

Wishing him a speedy recovery.

Deuce is doing very well this morning. He went potty outside first thing this morning. His plumbing is working well. I decided to split up his food and give him some this morning since we are giving him an oral antibiotic twice daily and have pain meds once a day for 3 days. He is not barking so I think his throat must be sore from the anesthesia. He usually starts barking at the cat next door at 6 AM. As you can see from the pic he is looking for his friend out there!!!

I'll do the wound care a little later once I'm sure the pain meds are working.

Deuce says, "Thanks for all your get well wishes."

Hope Deuce never endures this ever again! I will faint if this happens to one of mine...very squirmy when it comes to worms & bugs & the creepy crawlies.
