Hudson got snipped....poor puppy

He bruised a fair bit, and has a very messy bum from the whole ordeal, so he's on metronizadiole, but the worst is he's got horrible razor burn. (This isn't the first time he's reacted badly skin-wise....I think it's just his curse.)

We got some magic goo for the razor burn and spent ten minutes trying to hold him down and put it on. Of course he wrestled frantically and wouldn't let us.

Portage (our older dog) watched for the ten minutes, walked over, nudged Hudson with his nose, and "sniffed" at his parts. Hudson rolled over on his back immediately and stretched out all four legs.

Portage stayed there while we put on the meds, spreading it all over the affected area. Then he walked away.

Without him we'd never have been successful.

Extra cookies for Portage tonight! What a great guy.

Poor Hudson, wonder why so bruised and razor rashed. That's not right. Someone there is a bit too aggressive, maybe an assistant. Portage, what a guy! Have you tried a cold back.......the sack of frozen peas wrapped in a towel held on the area?.......good luck with that :wink:

More than anything a good nap and tomorrow will be better for Hudson, I hope. Only one of my guys had trouble which is why I know about frozen peas and dogs who can high jump 6 feet or more.
He's doing much better. With the meds his poops are better now, and the rash is nearly completely gone. He just seems to have very very sensitive skin.

He's still running around the house, low to the ground, like a crazy dog. No walking, just zipping around. I think it's got more to do with the draft on the bare patch than anything else.

When my hubby shaved a small patch under his bum (hygiene purposes) a few months back, he spent a week trying to run away from the draft. I think he's doing the same thing now. Goofball.

I can only imagine what he'll be like when we finally shave him down all the way. I don't think the house can take it.

As for the bruising, I don't know....but he's still flying through the air, jumping over couches from the back side, etc. So, I have no idea if the bruising is just from the surgery, or more from his craziness. When I dropped him off at the vet prior to surgery a tiny little vet tech took him down the flight of stairs. I was leaving (he was very hyper) and she said, "Say bye bye to mommy." That was a mistake. He looked up at me (on my way out the door) and JUMPED about six stairs at once, then ran to the top. He dragged her UP the stairs (I warned her). So you can see the power behind his evilness. It's hard to believe he's only 64 pounds. But then again, she couldn't have been much more than that herself.
