Wilbur: Neuter Complications

Well, it has been an interesting month for poor lil Wilbur. He was sick the week before his neuter which resulted in an early trip to the vet for shots, medicine and some fun exams. 

Then his neuter surgery did not go well... There were complications that were the vets fault that caused him to spend the weekend in the animal hospital and undergo another full surgery to repair the damage caused by the neuter. He is recovering nicely after a few days of stress. But it also looks like he has developed a inguinal hernia. YUCK! The surgeon will check it out when he goes in for stitches removal next Wednesday, and until then I just need to keep an eye out for signs of severe pain, not eating, etc. Which he has luckly had none of. He has been full energy and wanting to play as normal the past 24hrs. Whew!

Still keep the lil guy in your prayers!

(could he BE any cuter???)

Project: Wilbur

Haha, "Project: Wilbur" makes me giggle. Sounds like a top secret military operation!

This project in my life is about raising my Boston Terrier puppy to be an upstanding citizen. At this point...he has a long way to go! He is as adorable as can be, but he only has some training (sit, stay, lay down, working on "beg")...and it all goes out the window when we go outside and he has other distractions! 

In the next couple weeks he will be going through some new experiences that will definitely make a change to his personality, hopefully for the better, but not too different! Next week is his neutering surgery! He goes in for pre-surgery bloodwork after work on Monday, April 6th and then his surgery is all day Friday, April 10th. I picked that day so I could make sure I was there with him over the weekend at all times. 

I will also be enrolling him in PetSmart obedience classes with me starting the end of April. They are 8 week classes to teach him more manners, training with distractions and overall obediance to my commands. 

Whew... should be an interesting month for Wilbur!!
