Lip Fold Operation
« on: December 01, 2012, 06:48:12 PM »
Hi

Has anyone had this operation on their cocker and if so could you please let me know your experiences i.e. was it a quick recovery, did it stop the infections, how long it took to heal etc.

Thanks in advance  :003:

My first Cocker had a little nip and tuck on one side after recurring infections. It was about 24 years ago, so I don't remember everything about it but I remember that it healed up quickly and he didn't have any further problems.

Coco had the op earlier this year after months of persistent infections and a very stinky mouth. :020:

They used dissolving stitches and it healed up really well and pretty quickly.  It never stopped her eating  :005:  After a few months she was free of infection, it was all healed up and she was pong free - :banana: So, for us, it was a success as there has been no recurrence of lip fold infections so far.  :D

Just had an email from the vets to say the swab has come back as psuedomonas, not sure whether that means he will operate or not  :-\

They may still operate as those blurry things can be very resistant to anti-biotics  ;)

I know, Indie had it in her ear in August.   She had to have an ear flush and then drops twice a day, it took ages to go.     I hope they go ahead and do something, his skin is being destroyed and the folds getting deeper and deeper.

Sorry to hear it's pseudomonas :-\. Horrible stuff. Poor boy, fingers crossed the vet decides to go ahead, or at the very least it's not a resistant strain he has :luv:

They're just waking him up now and picking him up at 6.30PM.   The message from the vet was that the lip folds were really bad and he's hoping more surgery won't be required.    Not sure what to make of that.   My poor boy  :luv:
