Poor old Piggy; what a thing to happen to a gentleman of mature years! We opted for the surgery, and it was done on Monday. We were terribly anxious, especially as the blood tests showed that his liver isn't functioning quite right, but as his kidney function was normal (very good in a dog his age) we went for it. He was, not unnaturally, rather sorry for himself that evening when he was home (his expression reminded us of the Skecksis from the Dark Crystal) but luckily seems to be making a good recovery. He looks very strange from behind, because he used to be quite a well-endowed fellow, and now is rather ... flappy. But that should improve with time. I hope.

Poor Piggy! Glad he survived the trauma! Must have been a worry for you too.

Bit extreme, just to make him behve at Cropredy.

Perhaps we ought to try it on Certain Others ... ;)
Aw....but at least you know that you are doing your best by him, even if he doesn't think so!
