It's a fact if he doesn't have the op it could lead to a horrible illness which posion his little body leading to a very painful end.
You doing what's best for him and the price of that is you have to suffer to let him not.
He see new people and tell you all about later. xxxxx

I know that Dave. I explained that to OH yesterday too!
 
Will be thinking of you both today - good luck Christian! Well done for pressing to get the op brought forward.
 
@Betsy I have everything crossed for your gorgeous Christian today. And I’m sending you hugs and support as you do the long wait for news of how it has gone.

@Powerpigs I am also sending Ohmi good wishes for his neutering today. And also sending you all good wishes.
 
Well have just dropped Christian off.

Here he is sitting patiently on the chair in the waiting room.

And here he is in the capable hands of the vet nurse just before going in.

Unfortunately I couldn't leave my camera for progress photos as they don't do that at my vets. Rachel is hoping to get all the abscess sac out without it rupturing. Here's hoping!
 
Now for the long wait ...... :fog:I have to phone at 2pm if I haven't heard before and pick him up at ten to five. I hated leaving my little boy as I am sure you will all understand.:soz: I am now a nervous wreck!:help: I need to pull in all those hugs everyone has sent cos I def need them now!:hug:
 
heres a big top-up hug from us too! :hug:
Christian will probably be a bit sore for a few days, but i bet he'll be more comfortable long term with that abscess gone, especially if it was growing so fast & getting tight! :( owch!
loving his packed lunch, the receptionist at my vets gave a bit of a surprised wry smile at Graces when i handed hers over too! lol!couldn't have my baby going hungry could i!?!?! :))

healing vibes & speedy recovery. love from us here. x
 
He looks so settled in those pictures, I’m sure he’ll breeze through and feel SO much better afterwards (and think of all the metacam he’ll be allowed!).
 
Big humongous hugs from me and the boys M’dear! :hug:xx
 
Aw .... fanks everyone it's making me feel much better all these virtual hugs! This Forum is an amazing place. Only an hour to go now before I phone up to find out how Christian's doing! How come time goes so slowly when you need it to go quick and quick when you need it to go slow? :hmm:
 
Just heard from the vets. It was a difficult operation and Rachel managed to remove the abscess whole without it breaking or anything:yahoo:. There were a lot of muscles, tissues, blood vessels etc adhered to the abscess including his willy and his anal sac:yikes:. Rachel was surprised at how much bigger it had become in a week. It is about the size of a duck egg!:yikes::yikes::yikes: She is keeping it for me to see and photograph. She has not put a drain in as it is too close to his femoral artery. I have to take him back in again tomorrow for a post op check. He was under for about an hour so is taking a while to wake up and when she phoned he was still in the waking up area. The pick up time has been pushed back until 7.10 tonight. He has been left with a wonky willy now bless him! I'm so glad I called and got the op brought forwards and I can't wait to see my boy!
 
Great news that the abscess has been removed :yahoo:
But what an abscess it was :yikes::yikes::yikes: glad it is all out now!
 
:yikes::yikes: indeed! Glad your vet managed to remove the whole thing despite the difficulties. Does that mean you won't have the pleasure of daily pus-removal? ;)
Hope Christian comes round smoothly soon and makes a quick recovery. xx
 
Wonderful news the op went well! :yahoo: Paws crossed for a speedy recovery :luv: xx
 
Oh my goodness that abscess sounds like a monster. Hugely relieved to hear the op has gone well. Hope poor Christian feels better once he has recovered from this major surgery. How you holding up @Betsy?
