Happy news: The vet didn’t have to use anesthesia today. He used a local and Raven was a good boy while they opened his incision while he was fully awake and put a penrose drain in. Then he got a new compression body wrap. And is on Lasix diuretic. Hoping this will get the seroma under control. He was like Pillsbury Doughboy, even his feeties were pudgey. I have already had to change out the towel that it drained into after only 6 hours. So, I am hoping that this will prevent so much fluid retention. Light at the end of the tunnel.
Here’s a video of Raven on Friday learning how to chew a bone treat with only one paw. 🙂

Poor Raven, lets hope he is soon up and about and being his normal self. It is such a worry. Barney is going for his 1st week check up tomorrow his swelling subsided over the last couple of days I really hope the drain works for Raven. Lots of best wishes from me and Barney.
Raven is just too cute! I wanna squeeze him!!! And who is that adorable little bulldog buddy of his??
Jake’s Mom
Keep being a good boy Raven, you’ll get over this thing quick, we know it!
That bully is Betty. She’s a senior rescue that started her life in a puppy mill. I adopted her last year, she was so old nobody wanted her. She’s had an eye removed and her spleen removed a month ago, and is doing wonderfully. She’s my cuddle bug. 🙂
