Angus had her "female" surgery on June 26; then a follow-up appointment on June 30. We were very concerned as the surgery area had developed a distinct pouch - like a confined piece of jello that was soft to the touch - concerning us that it might be some infection. The Vet was not concerned and told us to wait for a few days to heal.
We waited until Tuesday July 7 when I called again and told them that I was bringing her in again. She had been listeless & mopey for the 2 days prior to this date; unlike her regular self at all! So there had to be something wrong.
The Vet finally agreed to open the incision as it was hard to the touch by this time, and enlarging in size-very saggy & about 5 inches long by several inches wide. We scheduled surgery for the following morning.
Kids came out to stay with us for a while as they were lonely - also made an offer on the house they want to purchase. Went out tonight with Matt's parents & family for his mom's birthday. They came home late - I was already asleep in bed. And Bravo decided that he was going to sneak up to our bedroom to sleep with hubby & me!
Hubby took her down that Wednesday AM and dropped her off at surgery. After not feeling too well all morning, I finally got a telephone call from Dr. Mike. He said that she had a seroma - a pocket of clear serous fluid that sometimes develops in the body after surgery - he had drained it & we could come pick her up at 4PM.
Kelsey had to find a dress for an interview & bathing suit (she packed hers along with the car titles-LOL!) so they went into town to shop.
Angus was dopey when she arrived home - Greg had to carry her in from the truck. It was so sad to see her endure another surgery. Gave her pain medication & confined her to the kennel. Poor little (big) dog!
Then while the kids babysat, we went up North of Sandpoint to check out another topper for the truck. After getting slightly lost (hubby's incorrect directions) we finally found the place high on a mountain (via a craigslist posting) but it was the wrong size, wrong year, etc. While there, Harriet (the Boxer) jumped out of the truck & wanted to play with the dogs that were at the ranch.
Along the way, the husband pointed out the MASSIVE Alpaca farm - which must house over 500 of the beasties. They looked so cute with their long hair, funny faces, & quirky ears!
Obviously, it was dinner/bedtime as most of them were making their way to the huge barn on the property. Maybe I should look into getting an Alpaca sweater.
Then went the opposite way to pick up some vehicle parts at some guy's home. An associate of the hubby's - really, I believe the whole truck topper viewing was a ruse to get up there to actually pick up car parts. More car parts. Like he doesn't have enough already!
Came home about 9:30PM and the kids were still up. We watched a little tv with them & went to bed. Bravo actually slept all night with them tonight!
