He seems a lot better in himself today, off to the vets tomorrow for his check up so will know more on how the wounds are doing.    I'm not really sure what to expect, his ears are a soppy mucky mess as he is constant drool/crappy stuff coming out and with wearing the cone his ears aren't drying out.   

I just hope he lets me sleep tonight.     The downside of small crates is he can't fit in it with the cone so he's a bit out of sorts not having his safety area.

I know this was several months ago but didn't want to post too soon incase I tempted fate however Quinn's lipfold operation has been a success.   He had absolutely loads of his lip folds cut away due to the amount of infection/sores and touch wood his mouth is now fine.    :luv:

Here's his mouth two weeks after the operation minus all the hangy bottom folds

I am so pleased to read this, Jeanette :D. You must be very relieved that it's finally under control. He is looking great too - I'd never know he'd had anything done if I didn't know :luv:.

Quinn looks in good shape. Glad it all went well and he's completey over it.
How long did he have his lampshade on if you don't mind me asking? Ozzie is going in for her lipfold op on Tuesday so it was lovely to see a photo of Quinn.  :D

Unfortunately he had to have the cone on until his stitches were removed as he was trying to paw his mouth all the time and would have ripped the stitches.     Operation was on the 20th December and stitches out on the 3rd January, in hindsight I should have cut the length off his ears as there was quite a lot of leakage coming from his wounds so he ended up in a bit of a mess with the cone i.e. his ears.     I had to cut the length off once the cone was off completely.    

He had a blip during the recovery time when he was put on a different set of antibiotics along with his original course, these made him very poorly and he had to stay at the vets - once they put him on fluids and took him off the other set of tabs he was fine again.   This wasn't anything to do with the op - just a bad reaction to the tabs.    

Seeing as he's never had anything like  this done to him before, he was very very brave - he doesn't like being handled by strangers too much so it all went better than I thought.  :D

Hope Ozzie's operation goes well - it's such a relief once the infection/ulcers/gaggy smell has gone  :luv: :luv:  


ETA - Not sure if Ozzie sleeps in a crate but the only problems I had was the lack of sleep, Quinn is crated normally at night but he couldn't fit in his crate with the extra large cone he had to wear - I would have bought a bigger crate in advance if I'd thought about it.

Thanks Jeanette that's really helpful information. I will give her ears a trim tonight. No she doesn't sleep in a crate she sleeps on our bed so that might be a problem as I should imagine its a bit difficult to jump up with a cone on. I will move her day bed upstairs at night so she can be comfy in that.
We just hope baby brother George doesn't  aggravate her to much as he is bouncy so and so.  :D

The cone tends to keep them away, Indie ran round in circles trying to avoid getting whacked by it.    :005:

He certainly is a handsome chap  :luv:

Looking at his lovely neat chops has made me realize just how baggy Rubys' folds are  :-\ touch wood we have had only one pongy incident that seemed to respond to hibi scrub.
People laugh at me because I'm different, but I laugh at them because they are all the same.
