Murph had surgery today because he's had infected anal glands that were not responding to two rounds of antibiotics.  They have been uncomfortable and even painful for him and so he "licks" which irritates the problem even further to say nothing of giving him some rather disgusting breath.  Apparently they were even worse than our Vet suspected so she had to give him more sedation than originally anticipated.  He's home and doing fine tonight, but he's totally in "la la land".  I had a college roommate who looked like this most of the time actually.  Anyway I'm so relieved that this is behind us....I always worry when he's going to be under anesthesia.  On a lighter note he has been totally cracking us up.  I really think he is seeing something....maybe "dead people or dogs".  When he first got home he would only stand staring into space...then he did lie down but also staring at "something or someone".  It took me awhile to convince him that it actually WAS food in his dish.  Well now the worst is over and he's back to this world.  I know it's not right to laugh at him, but he really did look pretty funny....here's what I mean.

Great news Jane.

Murph seems to be "on the mend".  Thanks for all the well wishes.  He does still have an upset stomach....maybe from the anesthesia, but we can deal with that.  It's so nice not to have that lingering "anal gland odor" following him around.
