A minor op for Clover looming.....

[Snoo]

Had to take Clover back to the vets today as she still has a lump where they operated to take out a couple of grass seeds from her armpit not so long ago.  The options are: leave it alone and see what happens and then it will probably need an op anyway at a later date as there's obviously still some remnants of grass seed in there, or, get it over and done with now before any awns or pieces thereof, have the chance to get in any deeper and cause a bigger problem - soooooo - she is booked in for Thursday morning for a GA and slice the whole lump out to make sure they get everything that might be lurking within it. Hopefully it will then heal properly and that will be that. Worse bit is, stitches and lead walks for ten days afterwards - that is just SO not Clover......  (This is her third GA in her whole 17 months of life - hope this is not setting the course for the future!!!)

Oh no, poor Clover! That is really bad luck. Let's hope this is the last of it. Hate those grass seeds!

Have passed on your kind wishes to Clover and she says thank you very much, lol! Seriously, will be glad when it is over - feel so mean having to starve her and then leave her at the surgery - she and I are not often apart and I know she won't be happy.....and nor will I! 

[Snoo]

Oh well, Clover is at the vets, so just waiting now till  I get the call to go and collect her, probably this afternoon. Will be odd not going for a walk in the mud today!!!

Hope it goes well at the vets today and you get the little  grass seed sorted once and for all!!!  Gentle squidges for Clover when she comes home

Hate those grass seeds!

Me too - I had never heard of the potential damage those blighters are capable of before here either, now the sound of them makes me feel sick.

Big love for Clover - wishing for a speedy bounce back and a not too traumatic 10 day on-lead recuperation sentence period

Just checking in for news of Clover. Hope she's back home with you very soon

[Snoo]

Thank you for all your kind concern - I have just had the call to go and fetch her - she is looking a bit sorry for herself, they said, and still a bit sleepy, but they did find another grass seed and removed it along with the lump that had formed at the site since the last one was removed - hopefully that is an end to it and she will heal up and have no further bother! Will update again later on!
