Operation for Peggy

So after the view at her anal glands the other day, the decision was made to remove them. Peggy was so distressed at the vets getting her anal glands cleared and it was horrible to watch. So it was very unfair to keep putting her through that and the pain she would have to go through twice a month, not too mention the discomfort the rest of the time. This is how much the rescue cares for their dogs and I think it goes to show what donations get spent on, the dogs! Because to us that is all that matters, the dogs health, wellbeing and happiness. 

I was actually very worried about the operation, its a very big operation for any dog, not to mention an oldie. However the operation went very well and although she has a bit of a sore bum Peggy is doing much better than I expected. The only problem is she's having difficulty manoevering around objects with the 'cone of shame' on. But she will get used to that and hopefully it won't be long before she can safely walk up the steps. Peggy is eating fine and before she even came home the vets had spoiled her to a tray of chicken! Then she came home and had some naturediet dog food so its fair to say she still has her appetite. Now the one thing to worry about with this operation was incontinence, which can occur if the vets mess up but they did a very good job and Peggy has done her business twice this morning with no issues. So big cheer for the vets who did so well with our Peggy. She is on antibiotics and is very moangy but hopefully all will be well for her viewing next week. I called her potential owners yesterday to update them and they were so nice about it and were happy to know she was recovering well. I'll update them again Tuesday then hopefully they'll come Saturday. And if all goes well Peggy will go off to her new home. Now Peggy has another vet appointment monday, however I am going away Monday-Wednesday so I won't be able to update straight away. 

So all is well for now, thankfully. Now the rescue do currently have an auction running thanks to Jess King so please visit the facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/groups/404220676316993/) and get your bids in before 9pm tomorrow. We are already at around £300 thanks to the kind people out there but the more money raised the better. Along with going towards vet bills and the dogs in our care, the rescue are also saving for a large dog exercise pen. So please donate, and if you can't donate, help in any other way you can :D
