So.....self surgery?

[Sandy]

I got up this morning, and had a look at Toby's paw.  Sometime during the night he took the whole cutaneous horn off!  Disgusting, and almost a little funny.  He hadn't touched it until now, and with surgery looming, I guess he decided to take care of it himself.  I'll take him in this morning - my guess is that the vet will still want to make sure the margins are gone so it doesn't come back again.  I'll keep you posted.  Crazy dog.

Wow, I guess every one else discovering it made him discover it as well.  Hope all goes well at the vet this morning.

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

Ouch....hope the Vet says all is okay this morning.

[Sandy]

Me too - crazy guy. 

[Tina, Clover, Plus 5 More]

Hope the vet approves Toby's surgical skills and nothing additional needs to be done.

It's amazing what dogs can do to themselves! I think having the vet take a look anyway is a good idea.

[Sandy]

The vet wanted to take the "base" of the thing out so it doesn't grow back, so Toby is there now.  He will need a cone for 3 days or, if that doesn't work, a tube sock with hockey tape around the top.

I taped a sock around Sunny's paw when she got stung by yellowjackets and kept licking it raw. She immediately forgot that it was even there, and flopped on the carpet to go to sleep.

That would be Spud's dream come true. His very own socks.

Hoping to hear a good report from the vet after surgery. Thinking of you and sweet Toby.

[Sandy]

The vet called - it's all done and stitched up.  Toby is was loopy after he was neutered, and is the same now, so I can't pick him up just yet.  I miss my Tobinator though!  It almost makes me want a second dog so I'm never without one.

[Bonnie and Kona]

uh oh! Sounds like puppy shopping coming up! Glad to hear Toby did well for the surgery.

[Sandy]

He did well, but he's not even trying to stand up yet, the vet says, so he's having an overnight stay.  They said he will have blankies, food and water, and I will feel much better if I don't see him so "off his game".  Can't wait for tomorrow now!
