Update on Poor Tucker...

Tucker had his surgery this morning.  Paul dropped him off at the Vet at 8:30am and we didn't hear anything until 12 noon.  But, we couldn't pick him up until 2pm. 


As you saw from the last posting, Tucker had a nodule on his right front knuckle on his little toe.  Luckily, the middle two toes are load-bearing because he had to have the little toe amputated.  We won't know until Friday if the nodule/tumor is malignant.  So, Tucker's all bandaged up and has barely opened his eyes the past 6 hours.  He's eaten an ice cube (loves those!) and some pills crushed in wet food, but other than that he's lovin' his bed downstairs.  He's such a trooper!

He's had a rough time getting his bearings this afternoon.  It must be the anesthesia, but his hind legs are very, very wobbling.  You'll see the make-shift sling out of a cut-up Whole Foods Fabric Bag (works great! Thank you Phyllis!!). He actually can walk better on his front legs and that's where he had surgery!
