Surgery for Cracker Jack

Cracker Jack had his surgery this morning.  I dropped him off at the vets at 7 am.   Dr. Garman called me at around 10:30 to say that he was resting post surgery.  It was then that I found out there was bi-lateral involvement, both of his adrenal glands were enlarged.  Sigh....

The left gland was removed completely and part of the right was removed as well.  We plan on putting him on lupron to help with the situation.

I brought him home this evening.  He has a recovery pen set up in our living room so he can rest peacefully away from the others.  This also limits his mobility, while he heals.

I offered him food, and he willingly ate his soupie!  We continue to offer supportive care and making sure he has soupie and water every two hours.

Tonight I will be sleeping in the living room on the couch next to Cracker Jack.   At first my Husband didn't like this idea, until I asked him if he really wanted to hear an alarm go off every two hours.   I will need an alarm to make sure I wake up and check on Cracker Jack regularly.
