Well, it is about Bracken, still and again.
3 operations, weeks of baytril, flushing, cleaning, stitching, restitching, glueing... and £250 later : He's had it all and it's still not over. I'm losing hope and am getting increasing angry at the vet who -to me- did a very poor job and caused irreversible damage to hsi perineal area.
I am going to see another vet tomorrow for a second opinion on all this. I just need someone to tell me : it's just bad luck, they couldn't have done any better OR agree that it's a mess and maybe offer me some solutions rather than just saying "ah well, I think he's had enough now" and leaving it here.
The last set of stitched they did last monday is a joke. It was supposed to close an open gap near his penis where the skin had broken down and healed as a hole due to constant flushing (want to sort this point out too). But the hole is still there, the stitches are lose and not even regular : it was a waste of time, money and suffering for my poor little Bracken.
He's been so brave, still looks bright and happy despite all this and the lampshade around his head. I'm so fed up.
I should NEVER have had him done and I should not have let that vet operate on him so many times despite my doubts. Now he's ruined and I don't know how this is all going to end.
