Seeing "Dead People"????

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

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.

I hope Murphy's feeling better and back among the living today!

Aw poor guy! Glad he's better now :) hope the spookies didn't trip him out too much

Hope Murphy is back to normal today!  I have to say - I felt like that after surgery myself!

[F, Calla & Luca]

I hope Murphy has a speedy recovery. When I picked Luca up from surgery last winter he too was spaced out. He didn't seem to acknowledge me at all, very unlike him. He just stood with a blank look. Spooky.
