Hello everyone. My name is Manny and my dogs name is Paco. He is about a year old. When we first got him from my brother in law i wasn't sure i would like him. My wife had a bassette growingup and I remember her dog shedding and slobbering. Not to mention he also at times smelled. After a week living with him i grew to love him very much. I've been visiting this site for about a month now and have read about the passing of some dogs and the cruelty of some people towards dogs. I couldn't imagine something like that happening to my Paco without getting sad or upset. Long story short I love him very much. Recently I had to take him to vet because he throwing up all night. He eventually needed to have surgery to remove some sort of blockage in his stomach. This wasn't cheap but i would do anything for him. The vet didn't know what was in his stomach. He just said it was a whole bunch of white stuff that he cleaned out. I just got him back today and without him it felt like an eternity. So my wife and I were excited to have him back. He hasnt thrown up and is very calm until either me or my wife come in the door and or leave the house. He's currently eating special food that was given to us by the vet. Has anybody who has had surgery on their dog had any trouble with the stitches? Im afraid it was the DINGO bones we used to give him so we are now going to use Bully sticks. When he licks his wound is this o.k.? We walk him about three times but two of the times we do it just long enough to go pee. He only goes Number 2 at night when i take him out for a long walk. Is this o.k.? I have so many questions but have drawn a blank. Thanks for readin and for any responses in advance. I look forward to being part of this community which obviously loves their dogs as much as I do.
