Excellent news! Glad to hear the pup’s doing ok, I’m sure the cat will forgive you after you’ve done sufficient catnip-related penance!

The vet just called and Murfie is doing great. PLUS, while Murfie was still under, the vet noticed the _Murfie Breath of Doom_, (there’s no way he could’ve missed it), so he looked around in there and extracted 2 absessed teeth, for FREE! :eek:

Great news!

I’m very happy for you, but still feeling a little bad for Murfie. Two operations in a single day–yow! Murfie is gonna need a LOT of TLC which I’m sure you’ll be happy to provide.

Aw, poor Murfie! Glad he’s coming home soon. Give him a cuddle from me. 🙂

He’s home!  
Not only does he not have the eliszabethan collar, he doesn’t even have a bandage. I was not prepared for that. But the doc says he’s less likely to bother the wound without a bandage.

Yeah, if he had asked, we would’ve told him to hold off on the teeth. I just feel bad that he had 2 absessed teeth, and we didn’t have a clue.
