William was much improved yesterday afternoon but then had a bit of a rough night. I think it's just the after effects of the anaesthetic, but neither he nor I had a good night. I ended up getting up 5 times between midnight and 6.00 am to see if he needed to go in the garden, but most of the time he was just being restless without needing anything specific :-\.

However, he's still eating and drinking OK and the vet was delighted with him at his post op. check this morning, saying how well his tongue and gum are healing. He also said that he's removed a few lumps from dog's tongues over the years and they've all been harmless, so given the appearance of William's he's pretty sure it was too. So I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for the test results but not worrying as much as I was.

Right now William is looking very relaxed, alternating between sunbathing in the back garden and cooling off on the hall floor, so hopefully the anaesthetic after effects are wearing off.

Thanks for all your lovely comments :D

I always think of William as a very noble (and of course handsome :luv:) dog. I'm sorry he's been so restless since his anaesthetic, perhaps he'll be a lot more settled tonight.

All digits crossed that everything turns out to be harmless, hope our virtual  :bigarmhug: helps.

He seems to have found the perfect way of spending a sunny Saturday, bless him.

Sorry, I missed this somehow, Elaine. I have everything crossed for the results of the lump, and hope William is still settled and has a better night tonight :luv: :bigarmhug:

Hope William's getting back to his normal self after his op and anaesthetic and that there's good news once the results come back. It took Alfie a couple of days to get over his anaesthetic earlier this year and he whined & cried and was upstairs & downstairs the first night not knowing what to do with himself.

Hopefully the anaesthetic is mostly out of his system by now, and he is more settled. Lovely that he was able to sunbathe today, nice and relaxing, hope you both get a good rest tonight. X

Only just spotted this, poor William he has had a rough couple of days, I think they find the anaesthetic harder to get over when they are more 'mature' in years  ;)  when Ben had a couple of teeth removed at 11 he was a bit out of sorts for a couple of days, but then bounced back fine.

Keeping everything crossed the lump results all come back clear, it sounds positive from what the vet said. Sending the handsome William  :bigarmhug: :bigarmhug: and hoping you both get a better nights sleep tonight.

We've had another bad night, this time with William having frequent bouts of diarrhoea. I think it must have been the Meloxidyl. He's had it before without problems, but never after an anaesthetic.

This morning he refused to eat at first, which really worried me. I think that was the first time ever (apart from some puppy fussiness). But luckily he brightened up about an hour later and had a little bit of scrambled egg and some pro-kolin. He hasn't had a diarrhoea attack for 7 hours now, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he's recovering.

Thank goodness for steam cleaners :005:. He made it to the garden every time but likes to come back in the house and scrape his bottom on the kitchen and hall floors :o

Poor William, hope the scrambled eggs etc work their magic and he dries up quickly. You both need a really good night's sleep so fingers crossed for you.
