Update on Bo:
They said he did really well under anesthesia. He had a bunch of energy when I picked him up. Now, after figuring out I wasn't going to let him drive he's finally snoozing.
Prayers and good vibes to my fat headed buddy, Bo.
Today is neuter day for this old guy. Sometimes, older dogs take anesthesia hard, so I'm worried about him.
He was having swelling in his prostate and to avoid an emergency with infection and eventually him not being able to use the bathroom properly, his neuter needed to be done, now!
The amazing staff at Seaglass in Jax were able to get him in today when I called yesterday. I know his care will be top tier. But, I still worry.
For months now I've worked on exposing him to new people and working with him to teach him how to walk on a leash preparing him for this day.
His first several attempts walking on leash were unsuccessful and resulted in alligator rolling, jumping on and biting the leash, lol, to now mostly calmly walking on a loose long-line (for a bull in the China shop). We still have a few hiccups sometimes like just a few weeks ago when he took me off my feet in excitement running into me from behind.
He is a good good boy who came in severely malnourished, with a horrible skin infection, who no one wanted. He deserves a happy, healthy, life.
**Photos in the comments of my cinnamon bun he found when I was inside the clinic checking him in. It was in the dash and it ended up in the front floorboard. The tray and plastic it was in was in the back seat. Sneaky boy! Disclaimer: yes, I still ate it. 👀
