Sending best wishes to Bryn and you :luck:

We fostered a Lhasa Apso and he had similar symptons, it was actually dried faeces pocketing in the side of his rump, he needed to be fed a soft diet with no bones or hard feed allowed as we needed him to eliminate his waste without straining. It felt like a golf ball sticking out the side of his rear. He had many years with us as a foster dog. Sadly last year at 9 years of age he prolapsed and it was inoperable.

Bryn's symptons sound very similar so fingers crossed you have many more quality years ahead.

I hope it is a happy outcome :huggles:

hi guys

Just brought Bryn home from the vets.

When i got up this morning Bryn was vomiting and his back end had swelled even further, there was lots of liquid under the skin,he had to be carried to the car bless him.

anyway it turns out that Bryn had a ruptured anal gland and his pelvic area was filled with blood and pus. apparently lots and lots of blood came out There is such a lot of swelling to the surrounding tissue that they cannot yet determine whether there is any other problem.

he has had the area filled with fucithalmic which apparently should help and the area was flushed with iodine first.

he has metacam for ten days and clavaseptin and metronidazole for ten days also.

he has to go back and see the vet again in ten days to have the area re examined and to see if the rupture is repairing....if not he will have to have surgery to remove the anal gland but hopefully it will not come to that.

poor Bryn was feeling so rough they didn't even anaesthetize him, they said he just lay there so they made an incision without anaesthetic which obviously considering his heart is a good thing.

we are very happy to have our little furball home and really hope this is his only problem and that he heals without needing more surgery. But i have to say MY GOD HIS BUM LOOKS SORE..the hole they made is pretty gross :x :lol:

 

[~Sally~]

glad it wasn't as bad as you first thought, fingers crossed here bryn wont require surgery :luck:

give him a gentle hug from me :huggles:

 

[Suerose]

Poor little soul, but it sounds as though he should be through the worst with any luck. No wonder he was feeling poorly with an infection like that. Gentle hugs to you both :huggles: :huggles: :huggles:

 

[dana]

oh poor lamb! im glad it looks better than u first thought love. give him some licks and long leans from little D

 

[anslinmcg]

Poor wee man. And what a sweet face he has!! :wub:

Hope the next few days go ok for him. :luck:

Sorry to hear about your terrible year and Parker's problems. Hopefully 2009 will be better for you. :luck:

 

[doris]

:luck: Bryn - that must be feeling better now its been cleared out, poor lad :huggles:

 

[June Jonigk]

That must have been so sore - ouch! :huggles:

One of my whippets has had her anal glands removed, she was fine after, but hopefully it won't come to that with Bryn. Good luck with him :luck:

Just thought i'd update this thread again.

Unfortunately Bryn had a check up on Tuesday and looked to be healing and recovering well,however last night he started to swell dramatically again and he is very very depressed and unhappy and the whole area seems like one big abscess

we are going to see the vet again today at five thirty and they'll have to cut him again and get all the blood and goo out but it looks likely that he'll now have to have surgery to remove the anal gland all together.

poor little cat dog( long story but he behaves like a cat, rubs round your legs and arches his back like a cat when you stroke him :wub: ), i worry so much about his heart murmur as well.....

he's ever so flat and miserable.

 

[gilliwigs]

Oh, poor Bryn. What a shame if he ends up having to have an operation after all. Good luck at the vets today and hope all goes well if he has to have the op, and he makes a full and quick recovery afterwards. :huggles:

 

[Hula]

I'm so sorry what a terrible time he is having ( and you ) :huggles:

 

[Suerose]

Good luck with the operation, will keep fingers crossed that all goes well and it sorts the problem out :luck: :luck: :luck: Hugs to you both :huggles:

thanks guys...

Bryn had his wound re-opened and loads more blood drained out..it was re-flushed with iodine and packed with fucithalmic again.

He has ten day course of Clinacin and ten days of metacam too but we have to go back again Monday afternoon for him to be re-examined etc.

He was very very brave as it looked incredibly painful and the iodine must have stung like a bugger :blink:

he just has a big hole near his bottom at the moment so hopefully anything bad will drain out...he is sleeping on towels on the sofa and our bed as we don't have the heart to banish him :b

At the moment the vet doesn't want to operate as there is stil;l too much inflammation still there but he also said he wasn't sure what exactly was going on and that possibly Bryn has a foreign body in there so we will just have to wait and see on Monday etc.

just as a footnote i would like to announce that normal Parker has resumed and my little beagle boy has not been trembling or shaking for three whole days AND he is being almost a normal little dog now...soooo with a tiny bit of luck if things continue we may be able to reduce his phenobarb dose in January which will further help his behaviour. so proud of my little fat beagle boy, he has been thru a lot :wub:
