Oscar’s doing well after surgery yesterday to clean out his wound. They flushed it well and he has a drain in. He’s off IV fluids and antibiotics and is on oral antibiotics now.
I’m a nurse and I know these things happen; it’s just annoying when it happens to you. Well, at least we’ll be on the road to recovery soon.

I'm a retired nurse; plan on going back to work--need more money. Have many hobbies and interests: knitting, needlepoint, sewing, gardening, refinish wood, cross stitch. Addicted to Pinterest. Also part of an animal rescue group-animals that are in shelters where they are euthanized are transported here to Wisconsin or Minnesota. Have 2 english mastiff's. Oscar just turned 6 in march; already has hip dysplasia and arthritis and just started limping a couple of weeks ago. He has osteosarcoma in his right front leg. I was totally against amputation, thought it was cruel etc but it looks like it's the only way to take away his pain. The vet told me about this site and I need to decide tonight what to do.

Aww guys I’m so sorry to hear this. Darn! We are sending all our pawsitivity that Oscar gets well soon.
Alright Oscar! It’s time to stop annoying your mom with all these silly little issues like another surgery, infetions, etc. Whst the hek? Getting a leg amputted wasn’t getting you enough attention?
Can we just go straight to recovery now? No more attention grabbing theatrics, okay?
Alright sweet Oscar, look forward to an even more pawsitive update tomorrow:-)
Hang in there Lora and Gus, big boy will be all better soon!
Lots of love to you,
