Brooks on the Mend

Many of you have been wondering how Brooks is recovering. He had his 2 week post-op check up and I can report to you that he's healing very well!
The incision looks wonderful. I told the vet that she was brilliant and she grinned and said "I love doing surgery!!" I can't imagine that. But glad someone does!

Brooks was cleared to take OFF the cone of shame....and resume his regular activities, slowly.
He's very happy about that!  Kelly still isn't admitting it, but I think she's glad he's feeling better.

Brooks, my family, and I want to thank you all for your prayers and get well wishes while he was in surgery and recovering. It's always stressful when our best friends are ill...and your love and support means a lot.

luv
Peggy, Mike, Brooks and Kelly

Home after Surgery

After abdominal surgery to remove obstructions in the intestines, our boy Brooks is now home!

Here's where they put my IV.

On the way home, I stopped to say hi to Gramma and Grampa.

Hi Grampa.

Hi Gramma.

Here's the corn cobs they took out of my intestines.

My new haircut. A bit short, don't you say?

Okay, it's safe now. You can look again.

All my new medication. I take more than Dad now!

My sister Kelly playing nursey. I'm not sure if she missed me or not.

We love Nassau Vet!

Nassau Vet (NY) took great care of Brooks. Dr. Lisa Dietrich did a wonderful job performing the surgery. Dr. Sanford made the diagnosis and advised us about treatment over the course of many hours into the night . The many techs involved gave Brooks his treatments, took him outside, and attended to his needs. Even the office staff stopped by his kennel to say hello. They let us sit with him and visit him whenever we could, and provided soft comforters for him to rest on in the examining room while we visited. We want to thank them all for everything they did for Brooks.

Now it's our turn to take good care of him as he recovers. Thank you everyone for your prayers and get well wishes and support as we've gone through this difficult ordeal. Brooks thanks you too!
