Oh this boy of ours !

[Selina27]

I`ve made a list of questions for tomorrow morning ,

Not OTT at all, definitely the sensible thing to do.

Good luck Reubs

I had to smile , they were both in the kitchen, sitting side by side looking up at their dishes when I saw Reubs leaning towards Nelly . Could imagine him whispering , this means one of us is going to the Vets xx

Best of luck. I hope it all goes well. xxx

As usual , Sue was lovely when I took Reuben in , answering all my questions with patience and honesty , even asking how Nelly was doing too . I feel happier now , my mind easier and so we wait for them to call us . Reuben went in with his usual enthusiasm , greeting all the nurses with licks and joy, bless him xx

for your wait....

Glad you're feeling better about it all, Kate, and hope you've got your boy back soon!

Really great news Sedation worked this time , phew ! Sue has not had to do anything invasive , she has clipped away all the loose bits and trimmed right down , so no removal , no bleeding , no bandage, yippeee She has had a close look at the nail which has grown from the removal he had last December , and as it looks healthy and not chalky , she does not believe he has SLO . However , she has asked for the advice of a dermatologist Vet with regard to supplements to give Reuben just in case and suggests that should this happen again , a biopsy is performed, but for now, its a case of being vigilant , we can fetch him at 1.30 xxxxx

Now that he's home and safe, we're going to paint that boy's nails with some of that super hard nail polish. In hot pink. It'll be great.

 

[Atemas]

Very good news

Bless Sue , she was mindful that I didnt want GA , and as sedation didnt work last time , she devised a cunning plan She sedated him in the crate , then covered the crate over and turned out all the lights , ten minutes later he was asleep xxx

covered the crate over and turned out all the lights , ten minutes later he was asleep

This makes me want to squish him and give him so many kisses! What a sweetie he is. Time for bed and out he goes.

 

[Lisa]

Glad to hear it all went well!!

 

[Lab_adore]

How is Reuben this morning Kate x

Thanks for asking @Cath . The sedation wore off early evening and he was a bit whiney . Although the main nail wasnt removed , Sue did have to dig deep to get the sharp side piece out and it was obviously hurting him . I have pardale painkillers for him as he cant tolerate NSAID`s so he had one with his antibiotic but had me up at 5 this morning which isnt like him at all . I think he is just a little unsettled and probably hungry , but I have to say that Sue has done a brilliant job A walk will lift his spirits I`m sure, but no rough ground for a week or so xxxxx
