Default My Star

This evening my Star, Llewellin Setter, underwent emergency surgery for a blockage in his intestine, at the Massachusetts Emergency Hospital just north of Boston. The pre-surgery talk was centered around septic problems and possibly having to remove intestine due to the bunching of the intestine as the blockage seemed to be a string like material. One quote was if there is damage to the intestine he has a 50% chance of survival. Just go a call from the surgeon who said the surgery went well, they only had to remove just over an inch of intestine, and he should be on the road to recovery. Please say a little prayer for us for a good recovery.

Prayers for both of you. As Shawn W. says "God made bird dogs tuff".

We had a dog that had a similar surgery...and lived to the ripe, old age of 14. Here's hoping you and Star have even more years together.

Yup, bird dogs are tough but they seem to eat anything and for no good reason.

I’m wishing for a speedy recovery!

My nephew is a vet there in Woburn.
