Going In for Surgery

Tomorrow is the big day! I will arrive at the Dr. office early tomorrow morning, get checked in and suppose to be the first surgery of the day. I need a good teeth cleaning and there are couple teeth that have to be pulled. This is the first time I have had to go under for my teeth cleaning. Not too bad for an almost 10 year old Italian Greyhound. Many my age are already missing many teeth.

While they are under the hood; the Dr. is going to remove a lump that has developed on my butt.

The vet and my dad are a bit concerned about me having such a big procedure under anesthesia because of my Grand Mal seizure history. I Heard them saying that the anesthesia can make me have a really big and long seizure. They have a plan and will give me some special medicine just before and after surgery. My Dad will have some of this medicine at home too just in case I have a problem in the middle of the night.

Well, that is all for now. . .Wish me luck!

My Brother Romeo!

If you are an Italian Greyhound Romeo is your brother too!

Romeo was recently found in a park in Orange County, mal-nourished with ulcerations on his eyes and nose. He was released to IGCA Rescue by O.C. Animal Services; he is in temporary foster care undergoing medical care and diagnostics for the ulcerations. Romeo has a grade three heart murmur, several abscessed teeth and two grade 2 skin cancer masses. He is undergoing a regimen of antibiotics and nutritional supplements to build him up his strength and immune system so that he can successfully handle the anesthetic for his pending surgeries. His prognosis is positive; his road to recovery long but at nine years old he has many happy years ahead of him. If you would like to help him on his path to recovery please send your tax deductible donation to IGCA Rescue, c/o R.E. Bailey 2268 Rutgers Drive, Costa Mesa, Ca 92626 or directly to Dr. Tom Austin, Newport Harbor Animal Hospital 125 Mesa Drive, Costa Mesa, Ca 92627
