Merlin
Very Active Member
So last night, I took Merlin to the vet along with his food, sleeping pad and blankets that he likes to sleep on. They were so accommodating and gave him a nice big kennel. He was the only patient staying over night so it should have been fairly quiet for him. There was no monitoring but they do stay there pretty late. I took my spreadsheet and explained to the vet tech yesterday's event and that i didn't shoot last night. I live about 10 minutes from the vet and once I got home, I got a phone call asking if I can bring the insulin back to the office. The doctor wanted to give him insulin last night. I dropped it off but everyone was busy so I couldn't find out how much they are going to give him. I also dropped off two U100 syringes and my conversion table. They said that I could call at 8:30am to see how the night went and how he is doing this morning. Seems weird without Merlin in the house... :sad:
I slept in today...that was nice. Anyway, I called at 8:30am and the vet tech said that he is up and alert and talking to everyone. He said that he is very active. I could hear him in the background. I asked him about the fluids and that all went well. He told me that he would call me before noon to give me an update of the surgery.
VT called at 11:30am and said everything went well. Merlin was under for 28 minutes. They pulled the one canine (the one that was broken) and a middle molar. He said that there was a lot of tartar that could have obstructed some of his bite and possibly rubbed the inside of his mouth. The molar that was taken out had a hole going through it and he thought that could have been pretty painful. I told him about the crunching noise that Merlin sometimes makes and he right away said that was because of the pain. I am so glad we were finally able to get this done. I forgot to ask about the growth on his right leg but hopefully that is gone. I meet with the vet at 4pm and to pick up Merlin.
I will update if there is more later on.
