Recuperating

Winston is back home and recuperating via extended napping:

His surgery went well, except for a few hitches. Once they got in there, they realized that what they thought was one tooth was actually two crowded teeth - there was so much plague and tartar build up, it was nearly impossible to see that there were two teeth in the one area, so they ended up removing both teeth and once they figured this out, they realized a similar issue was happening on the other side of his mouth. Rather than remove those teeth as well, they injected the gums with some sort of antibiotic that should keep that excessive plaque and tartar build up from happening on the other side as well.

He is eating well and keeping everything down - which is really good and even though he's still groggy and sleepy, he seems to be happy and feeling much better this morning. When I picked him up last night it was like he didn't even recognize me - he was so out of it. But this morning he was excited to get up and eat breakfast (duh, he IS a pug - surgery or not).

Some of you commented yesterday that you'd like to follow me on Twitter. You can find me @ladypug (shocking!) I'd love to follow you on there as well, so find me and I'll follow you back.

Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and prayers and reassurances! The Pug-Blog community is so amazing - you always have support even for those of us who aren't always as on-point about our blogs and commenting and keeping in touch as we should be (ie - ME). Thanks so much.
