Bogey's Vet Visit...

.

We rescued Bogey about five years ago.  His biggest flaw is that he whines incessantly when he doesn't get his way and he hunts around the property like there is no tomorrow!!  Oh and then there is the occasional digging out of the property lines that makes this mama VERY unhappy.
But Bogey's strength is that he is very healthy and has never  required a vet visit, until two days ago.
Bogey had an ear hematoma!  Ask me anything about ear hematomas in dogs and I can tell you all about it....I have thoroughly researched and watched YouTube videos on the subject.

See the part of Bogey's ear that looks like it's been blown up like a balloon...that's the hematoma.  Really it's a fancy medical term for blood blister.

Always looking for a way out...

Unfortunately, the only cure is surgery.  Bogey had his surgery yesterday and even though the surgery went quite well , without any complications, he is really quite pathetic....that cone is unbearable!!

Here is Bogey this morning finding some relief without the cone.  The vet said he needs to wear it for seven (!!!!!) days but Bogey won't walk with it on.  I had to carry him outside this morning to do business and he just stood there like a statue!  Finally, I took the cone off and we walked around the property...success!

Poor little guy...now if he will just eat so we can give him medicine.
It's gonna be a long seven days....
Lord, grant me strength!
