Monty update

Those of you who follow us on Facebook know that on December 2 we had Monty at the vet for the removal of a couple of worrisome lumps.  Thankfully, those lumps came back as negative for cancer, but that doesn't mean we are worrying any less for our boy.  Monty has proven himself to be a troublesome patient - constantly making attempts to rid himself of his bandages and protective shirt.

Angel Sam's surgery shirt is becoming the tradition for our pups to wear after any surgery.

We had a sense of Deju Vu seeing Monty in Sam's shirt....

It's very slenderizing....

Despite our best attempts to keep him from worrying his bandages, Monty has been making every effort to get to them.  If we put a cone collar on him...

Where did my light go?

...he attacks the bandages with his back paws.  We somehow managed to keep his incision safe and he looked good at his recheck last weekend.

Dual vet appointment - this was the day Harlow got her cast off.

Last Tuesday he should have had his stitches out, but Dr. Kerne decided he needed to have a drain put in - and drain he did.  He became quite the soggy mess.

We've also been having issues keeping him quiet.  He and Harlow seemed determined to go at it.  We've set up an x-pen across the living room to separate him.  Monty thinks this is highly unfair and has been spending all his time making us feel guilty about his jail time.

I iz wearing prison orange.  I haz been wrongly accused!

We had another vet appointment this morning.  He still has his drain in and his shirts are getting washed as I type.  We have another appointment Tuesday evening for another check.  Keep fingers crossed Monty will leave his stitches and drain alone until then.  We are hoping it can all come out then and we can give him a good bath and grooming.  :)
