Oliver's surgery
Oliver is back to normal, eating and drinking as he usually does. He seems as happy as he usually is.
A couple of notes on the surgery: We requested the incision be closed with internal stitches. Dr. G did that, but he also recommended staples. I told him to go ahead if he felt they were necessary and apparently, he did. I don't think Oliver has tried to remove them hisself, and I'm really grateful for that--Abita had concerns about Kanga's collar fitting him.
Second, he removed each testicle singly--notice he has an incision on each side of his scrotum. When I had my first four boys neutered three years ago, Dr. G made only one incision, down the middle of the scrotum. I admit this seems to be alot tidier than the incisions the Rink Rats had.
Poor Oliver! Give him lots of love and treats for all the girls. xx

Posted by: colleen at September 25, 2005 11:10 PMHow did Dr. G. get inside to do the stiches "internally"?
And then, how did get back out?
Was this some sort of "Fantastic Voyage" thing?
