4 week ampuversary

What a difference a month makes  — just 4 short weeks ago we were on our way to the emergency clinic with Bowser to leave him there for the nite for post op care.  The past 4 weeks have had their highs and lows for sure.  Coaxing Bowser to eat was a huge challenge – canned, cooked, mixed, not mixed – you name it we tried it all.   And it was in his own time that he went back to his kibble and was happiest when he ate with the rest of  his pack.  5 other bassets who have been the best around him.  Then the leaking from the incision site – on one leaking occasion I was in the x-pen with Bowser crying and waiting for our wonderful vet to make a Saturday nite house call.  We were happy to learn it was just seroma leaking and not frankenstein blood.  The stitches are out and our bloodwork looks good.  This Friday we head back to NEVOG for our second chemo treatment.  Bowser is 99.999% back to normal.  Vocal and silly – playing with his favorite toys and lovable as ever.  We are so thankful that we found the tripawds website.  Even though we don’t post often their is such a feeling of support that helps us thru the days.

  1. Way to go Bowser! You look like a happy guy! We were a NEVOG patient too….they will take great care of you! Xoxo Sue

  2. Bowser looks FANTASTIC! He is so beautiful. So nice when the drippy stuff stops. We felt it was real progress when we picked up all the extra sheets, towels and puppy pads that were covering our family room. Bowser – get through that chemo stuff and enjoy being you.

  3. Glad things are getting back to normal! He really is one handsome boy and I am so happy he is doing well. Good luck with the continued recovery.
