Luci has always had problems with her anal glands, getting plugged and having to be expressed. :(
She now has an anal abcess...had to have surgery to get the whole area cleaned out. The BIG one popped last night and she had a couple other places that looked as if they were developing into something also.. the whole area back there was pretty much, just icky!!!! As long as she was 'under' we decided to clean her teeth too, so that will be taken care of, this is the 1st time she has had to have that done. (and she will be 7 on Dec 7th) So feel i lucked out on the teeth thing, so far. Don't want to get too over confident here. I go this afternoon to pick her up, she will be on anti-biotics..again..... Poor little thing, she has been thru the ringer the last month.... Hope this clears up fast and she is back to her bouncy self.
So, no, it was NOT fast, easy or cheap......
Take Care All
Have a Happy & Blessed Thanksgiving!!!!
Getting my hair 'done' tomorrow morning then going to Madras, where there is NO internet service, so will be off line for a couple days
Glad shee is on the mend. Blessing to you for Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteWishing Luci a quick recovery--doesn't sound like fun! Dogs are incredible, though, no complaints from them. Hope she's back to her bouncy self soon, too.
ReplyDeleteWe had to have Skittlez's anal glands removed when she was younger because she had so many problems with them. Always something. Sure hope Luci is back to feeling great before too long. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteHope she is doing well soon! Those four legged friends are expensive. Halley had her teeth cleaned, nails trimmed,shots and physical yesterday. I try not to cry over the bill:)
ReplyDeleteWe've had dogs with those glands problems and they unfortunately seem to recur and recur. Not sure why. Sorry to hear Lucy has the problem.
ReplyDeletePoor Lucy, Effie, our wire hair dachshund had so many anal infections with her glands the vet finally removed them. She ended up getting bad tonsillitis from licking back there so often. Hope she gets to feeling better real fast.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading this a few days late, so I hope all is well with little Luci by now. She's really been through a lot lately, and those boils must hurt. I know they don't complain, but still, it must hurt her. Poor baby.
