THLpatrick 555 Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Alright lads and lasses, just a little update on how the whippet is doing, he's been in and out the vets frequently for around 2 weeks, at first we had no luck, his inury was infected, the antibiotics wernt doing there job and the skin had died, after that they decided on another operation which was around 9 days ago? and this is how its shaping up now you'll see in the picture below, im really pleased, he lost alot of weight from 15kg to 13kg and today back to 14.3 so he's getting back to himself, the shade often depressed him but he puts up with it! thanks for everyones advice support and knowledge on injuries and helping me understand this more. Heres a few pictures, ill use the thread to update when all stiches are out next friday! the vets have been brilliant and btw the animal sanc are paying every little trip so far which is good i guess!
