Dog metacam dose

In case it helps, my Jasmine was at the vets for 5 days after her spay before she was ready to come home. Even then, it took another week for me to feel she was on the right road. If the signs are otherwise positive, then please don't worry too much; he probably just needs a little more time to recover. 🙂 Sending big hugs!
 
Just an update. Dougal is back at the vets for at least the next 24 hours as he is really really unwell. I am starting to lose hope that he will recover from this to be honest. At least I have tried everything for him. Please keep Dougal in your thoughts.
 
I really hope he can get over this. I know exactly how you are feeling. It’s awful. You’ve done all you can. Fingers crossed Dougal can do this. ❤️

I’m so sorry to hear your news. You did the absolute best for him.

Popcorn free Dougal.
 
Oh nooo, I am so sorry to hear this, life can be so unfair. You did everything you could for your little man, having to say goodbye is the hardest thing. Sleep tight Dougal x
 
I’m so so sorry. You really tried everything. Popcorn high at the bridge Dougal. Take care ❤️
 
Oh poor Dougal, I'm so sorry 😔
When they get a stone it's an awful decision to make as as owner but surgery is currently the only chance our boys have. Some pull through no problem, but for some it just gets too much. I lost my Panda in the hours after surgery and it broke my heart. Some piggies who make a successful recovery sadly go on to form more stones within weeks. But even knowing all this we still give them the chance if we possibly can. Take care of yourself x
 
After losing Percy after his bladder stone op and Pepper taking weeks to recover from his abscess surgery it’s made me so nervous to ever operate on a piggy again 😢

I feel the same. I feel like he would not have been in pain the last week of his life had I not gone through with the operation. I feel terrible that he had to spend his last days in and out of the vets 😔
 
@JosieK I feel so bad for you and @weepweeps having lost your piggies this way, especially as my boy Arthur sailed through the same operation a couple of months ago. It just seems so unfair it makes me cry and feel kind of guilty. I have tried to be positive on both your threads, I hope this hasn't come across as flippant in anyway, I know it is risky surgery. But as @Free Ranger (rip Panda) says, it is the only chance our boys have. I totally understand doubting operating was the right thing to do but Dougal would still have been in pain had you left it and with boys there is always the risk their bladder could end up blocked. One time when I used to work at a vets I remember a cat being brought in with a blocked bladder. Ssdly his owners had left it too late and his bladder had ruptured and he had to be pts, that poor cat was in so much pain, its a memory I would like to forget but never will. I honestly believe you and weepweeps did the right thing by your piggies. Take care. Hugs x
 
@Pound Shilling & Pig you haven’t come across as flippant at all. I too have tried to be positive whilst replying to @JosieK on this thread as I was hopeful of a positive outcome for Dougal. It really is unfair that some piggies are fine and others are not. Don’t feel guilty at all. I’m so pleased Arthur is ok.
