Buddy Update

Well, the Budster is out of surgery. Finally. He wound up at Louisville Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Services. Another great facility in Louisville. They got him under sedation and did a very thorough exam. The left side was much worse than originally expected and the right side had already started to herniate as well. They were able to fix both sides. There is a 90% success rate for this surgery. Let's hope he is among that percentage. He will have to be on very restricted activity for the next two weeks. No stairs, only leash walked for potty breaks and remain quiet. So he won't be coming back to my house until he is healed up and released from the doctor. I will keep you updated if I find out any more.
