WALLY'S VET VISITS

Wally the dog has had a bad tummy since the day we got him as a puppy.  His solution was to eat grass, leaves, anything green.  The vet told us that he was trying to cure himself.  I had always thought he was a bit OC.  His stomach got worse.  We took him to the vet who did a quick endoscope, and told us that Wally had colon issues that he, the vet, couldn't really fix.  He sent us to another vet.  After a scan and a doggy-colonoscopy - we found out that Wally had polyps, a very irritated colon, but was fine.  She put Wally on a course of meds that really fixed him up.  Unfortunately, at the same time, she found that Wally had a skin cancer, and she recommended that we have it removed.  Below are some photos of dog post op.


Note Wally's silly cut around his legs.  When they give IV to dogs they have to be trimmed.  We've had several people ask us if Wally was some kind of poodle.  No.  Just a Bouvier with a silly cut.
