The little man is home and currently in his usual place on the sofa!!!  :D :005: ::) :lol:

Apparently he was in surgery for just over 2 1/2 hours - quite a massive op.  He's got ain insicion in his throat about 6 - 8" long with about 25 - 30 stitiches which will come out in 2 weeks.  He has to return to the speciaist in 4 weeks.

In himself he is remarkably bright!  He's dosed up to the eyeballs with painkillers but it's just so lovely to have him home.

The recovery powers of dogs never cease to amaze me - if that had been us having such major surgery we'd be flat on our backs for weeks!!

So glad he is home. What a relief for you. Have you got the impossible task of keeping him still now? Good luck with that if you have cockers and still not two words you would normally find in the same sentence :005: Hugs to you and Parker.
He is your friend,your partner,your defender,your dog. You are his life,his love,his leader. He will be yours,faithfull and true,to the last beat of his heart.You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.Anon.

Yes Debs, he is not supposed to jump and he is supposed to be as still as possible...... Do vets know what cockers are like!!!!!  ::)

It's just so, so marvellous to have him home and to know that he is going to be a new, painfree doggie in future.

I cannot thank you enough for all your lovely wishes and thoughts - it's been a real treat while he was in hospital to come on here and see all your lovely messages.

Thank you from me and most of all, from Parker!!  :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Morning all!

Parker had a very settled night and slept really well and he is as bright as a button this morning!

I am SO amazed at him, but it's a nightmare trying to keep him reasonably still!  He's on massive doses of painkillers for the next 2 weeks so I think they are playing a big part but he's in really chipper form!

I'll try and take some pics of him later to post for you all to see.  :D

Ooooooooh, thanks for that - gorey operation photos!  Just when I was about to have something to eat  :-\

Glad Parker is perking up.  I do not envy you trying to keep a cocker still though  ::)
