Great to hear that Deuce is on the mend!

Good to hear that all is well and that the lump was nothing serious although larva using your boy as a living host is no small thing, yuck !!

Deuce is back to his old self. On perimeter watch by 6 a.m., started barking yesterday and playing ball in the house before dinner. I don't want him playing ball outside since he has the stitches in his chest. We'll give him the pain meds one more day and just continue with the wound care. Since the location of the would is right were his harness would be I've been walking him using a show lead from my Shih-Tzu Maxwell. He was my first dog and hobby before children. The lead is over 35 years old and still does the job!!!!! Heck the leather lead I use on Deuce's harness is over 35 years old too. It's so soft and perfect. I'm really proud of Deuce listening to me telling him to walk slow and walking on a loose leash. Maybe I should use that lead more often. Maybe there is still hope for obedience training for him!

Great job Deuce walking nicely on the show lead! Glad to hear he is back to all of regular duties, patrolling the perimeter.

I am glad to hear deuce is recovering well I noticed my post from page one ended up on page three and that a couple of posts are doubled up but not next to eAchother- is this just my glitch or is anyone else experiencing some thread oddities here?...

Just now seeing this and glad to hear it's all behind Deuce. Yucky looking thing on his little chest and am so glad it's been treated and he's doing well again. I'm so sorry your poor baby had to go through all of this.

We see the vet tomorrow for a post op visit. His wound looks great but they said the stitches need to stay for two weeks so another week to go. They look ready to me. But how do they take them out? Snip and pull????? Uggghhh poor boy. He is a tough little guy though. Let you know what happens after the visit tomorrow evening.

Happy to hear Deuce is healing well. Wishing him a good checkup with the vet today.

I don't know about the stitches on dogs, but I've had stitches removed from my thumb and chin, and it was painless.

Deuce is looking great and will have the stitches removed next Wednesday.
Yay!!!!!!

Stitches are out and hair is growing back in. I wish the hair on his leg would grow more quickly. They shaved it when he had the surgery. They gave him such a "poodle paw". Of course I had to post a few pics of my boy. The last one is the typical "Morning Mess".
