Dino at the ER

A link for this specific robofish? Both the cats and my toddler enjoy such things

Sorry Brigitte, it was me embellishing a bit and just a standard flavor pink Robo Fish Diving under the ice cubes. However, it was incredibly entertaining to watch the RoboFish navigate the ice cubes as if it were a Viking from Norway.

So glad to hear that Dino is finally improving without anymore setbacks!!!

Back at the ER. Incision still leaking, discharge starting to get a little yellow. Still not drinking on his own, willing to be hand fed for 1-2ozs, beyond that it's a bigger chore.

Oh no :-( Poor Dino and poor you... what antibiotics has he had to date and are they going to change them up?

 

[John Popp]

They are going to irrigate the incision. They believe he may be having a reaction to the sutures. Might need to sedate him again, so glad they have the info on the step sedation from the other day, minimizing the dosage.

To date he has only had Clavamox, "take it for 14 days and things should clear up or wait 2 weeks and things should be better". Never much faith in it doing anything at all.

I read this whole thing, John, and I just can't believe the trials and tribulations Dino (and you) have been going through. Good grief! It seems you can't catch a break! Anyway, sending love and healing thoughts to your sweet boy.

Sorry. To hear about the setback, hope all goes well and Dina can finally start to get better thinking of you guys!!

Upon opening Dino up they found all kinds of puss and he he has blown through a stitch in his abdominal muscle Wall. They are flushing it all out, examining the surgery site and hopefully all is well. From what I've seen, the evidence suggest this started at the incision site and pushed inward. Fortunately we have loaded him with fluids and the surgeon seemed pretty optimistic.

Poor baby!

Awwww . What an ordeal. Poor fur baby and fur parents. I'm keeping all digits crossed that this latest setback is the last.
