9.11.25 Update (long):
Whew! A VERY busy surgical day at Wentzville Veterinary Clinic. We are so grateful for the skills of Dr. Ragan and the team of vets, techs and support people who all come together to make it happen for the Bulldogs!
Morning started off with hwy 64 closed down, so Walter and I went the Clayton road scenic route to Chesterfield then out to Wentzville. Kristina made it to the clinic with JoJo II and surgery was underway when we arrived. Wow, what an event! Spay, vaginal restructure, MAJOR tail amputation. Poor girl is a patchwork of nip, tuck, stitches and some strategic plastic surgery! We really hope all of this will massively improve her quality of life when she heals! Last check she traveled well to Kristina's house and hopefully is resting.
Walter weighs 40.4 lbs this morning with no breakfast on board! I have never seen one of these re**al body tack surgeries. Here is hoping everything holds and heals. He still has his butt bow for the next 3 weeks until Dr. Ragan comes back from his travel. Little Walter is feeling very abused and sore this evening, but he had his meds and a soft food snack when we arrived home and is napping.
Thank you everyone for your thoughts prayers and financial support! This is going to be a healing process for these 2 Bulldogs.
