it has become autumn and it is now clearly visible all around – also in our garden.
We also have a garden gnome – in the form of a beagle called Darwin. However, he is not up to all sorts of pranks, but is kindness itself.
On 2 October, Darwin will be 14½ years old. He is doing well and has recovered from his recent surgery. He eats, drinks and gets rid of it again – but he has aged.
On Monday 2/9, Darwin underwent surgery and had a larger tumor removed. The operation went well and in the following 2 days Darwin has recovered quietly.
He is not yet himself – it will be a few more days before he is his old self. He eats normally, but his digestion is not quite at its peak – it obviously hurts when he has to “go to the toilet”. In addition, he receives a lot of medicine – painkillers and antibiotics. Lactic acid bacteria for digestion and his vital medicine for the thyroid gland.
This week we are taking it easy – only short walks and peace and rest at home.
Darwin had surgery today. He also had his teeth cleaned.
The vet said it was a tumor that Darwin had near the anus on the left side.
Everything has gone well – now Darwin just needs a few days to recover – then I will post a picture of his wound – which by the way looks fine.
As a result, Darwin is affected by the anesthesia and is tired. At the time of writing here around 4pm, he still hasn’t eaten or drunk. However, I have been sitting outside on the bench in the lovely weather we have – while Darwin has been lying on a blanket on the grass and sleeping a bit.
Today marks 2 years since we lost our beloved Oscar.
He is forever with us in our thoughts and we are grateful that he was ours
Vores elskede Darwin mand – har desværre fået en rigtig grim “dims” “vorte” “byld lignede” et eller andet og som sidder en meget dumt sted – lige omkring anus i venstre side.
Darwin var ved dyrlægen i mandags (26/8) – der var to mistanker – det kunne være prostata (hos hunde vokser sådan noget bagud) – Her kunne en kemisk kastration komme på tale (hvilket jeg ville være meget ked af)
Det kunne også være noget andet.
Dyrlægen udtog en prøve af “dimsen” og det var ikke prostata – men muligvis en vorte der var gået en grim betændelse i. Darwin har haft et åbnet sår, som han væsket og blødt – og det har han jo svinet lidt med rundt omkring i huset. Jeg har renset, når der var behov for det – hvilket har været en del den senere tid. Det er jo mest synd for Darwin – og derfor blev det besluttet at den skulle fjernes. Det bliver ikke nogle “sjove” dage hverken for os – og i sær ikke for Darwin – for det tager jo lidt tid at komme ud på den anden side igen.
I denne uge indtil søndag er Darwin på antibiotika for at få vorten til at skrumpe
På mandag – d, 2/9 kl 8:30 bliver Darwin afleveret hos dyrlægen og så håber vi at det vil gå godt og han hurtigt kommer ud på den anden side igen.
Our beloved Darwin man – has unfortunately got a really ugly “dim” “wart” “boil” looked like something and which sits in a very stupid place – right around the anus on the left side.
Darwin was at the vet on Monday (26/8) – there were two suspicions – it could be the prostate (in dogs something like that grows backwards) – Here a chemical castration could come into question (which I would be very sad about)
It could also be something else.
The vet took a sample of the “dummy” and it wasn’t the prostate – but possibly a wart that had become badly inflamed. Darwin had an open wound which he oozed and bled – and he’s been messing around with that a bit the house. I have cleaned when needed – which has been a lot lately. After all, it is mostly a sin for Darwin – and that is why it was decided that it should be removed. It won’t be some “fun” days either for us – and especially not for Darwin – because it takes some time to come out on the other side again.
This week until Sunday, Darwin is on antibiotics to make the wart shrink
On Monday – d, 2/9 at 8:30 a.m. Darwin will be handed over to the vet and then we hope that it will go well and that he will quickly come out on the other side again.
Denne sommer går vist ikke over i historien som en god sommer – men hvad er en god sommer? – er det varme med 25-30 grader? eller er det midt i mellem omkring de 20 grader?
Ja her foretrækker vi nok det sidste – alt over 22 grader er bare for varmt, både for mennesker – men i sær for vores hunde.
Darwin er blevet ældre og det kan vi godt mærke så småt – han blev 14 i april – men han har det godt, spiser og drikker normalt – går sine ture hver dag og følger med i hvad vi foretager os her i huset. Vi snakker meget med ham. Han bliver nusset om og vi plejer hans små skavanker hen af vejen.
Her sker ikke så meget – vi holder sommerferie – vores far er hjemme i øjeblikket og det nyder Darwin også godt af, for så kan far også gå tur med ham. Vi sover længe om morgenen – inklusiv Darwin, men kommer også lidt senere i seng om aftenen.
Som tiden går kommer Darwin til at ligne Charlie mere og mere i udseende. Han er blevet lidt mere hvid i hovedet.
