Shadow had to go back to the vet, not only for his follow up visit after his surgery, but because he opened up his stitches. He was able to bend his 'cone' backwards and he must have done this when we weren't there to tell him 'no.' He had a horrible open wound on his butt. It didn't seem to bother him much and he was even able to jump on the couch. But, of course, it wasn't supposed to look like that so the vet had to re-sew him.
The good news is that his biopsy came back normal. Thank God and St. Francis of Assisi for that.
He came through his second procedure just fine. There was an infection in the wound so they put a tube in him so they can flush it with medicine.
He's also been neutered. This is supposed to keep this problem with his anal glands from recurring and might even add years to his life. I wish he could live forever.
So he's spending another night with the vet so they can keep an eye on him. I'm praying I can bring him home tomorrow.
