Claire82 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Luka was castrated 14 days ago.vet post op check we t fine. However, On Sunday night I noticed his scrotum had swollen and on inspection had a little lump in it. I took him to the vets Monday pm. She gave him anti biotics today (Tuesday) I came home to give him his lunch time stroll and he was quite lathagic which is nt like him, played for only 10 mins apposed to normal hr. I checked his sack and it had doubled in size so another vet trip, this time given anti infamitory and pain killer stuff that put on his food and still on anti biotics. Hes been really good and not been licking it very difficult to keep him calm as he's an 8month old pup! However we have provided lots of mental stimulation. Anyways. Tonight he started licking the area so we put the collar on. He came upstairs and was making a noise so we investigated and found blood spots everywhere! Between his legs is loads of blood which I've cleaned off him to get a better look. There appears to e a small hole where his stitches were which is leaking bright red blood:( He is very swollen (pear size) and I'm not sure what to do? Any advice would be appreciated. He lets me look and gently touch even rolling over so I can see, have put a cold tea towel on his bits which he is fine with. Also have a vets app 2morrow to check progress If its not gone down vet said they would re operate to find out what it is. But as its bleeding now I'm quite worried!!!

Claire82 Posted September 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 [MENTION=2703]Staceybob[/MENTION] any suggestions as I see your on line? He's currently flaked out outside and I'm up keeping an eye on him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staceybob Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 @Staceybob any suggestions as I see your on line? He's currently flaked out outside and I'm up keeping an eye on him? Sounds like a possible severe reaction to the stitches used during the operation, if you think he'll be ok for the night, get him to the vets tomorrow morning urgently.

Claire82 Posted September 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 He's been fine for 11 days just suddenly appeared and has gotten worse:( he's asleep now outside and won't move inside which is normal for him when he's tired plus he's had a lot of meds. It doesn't seem to be bleeding any more but I'm still worried about him. Just gonna stay up and awake for as long as possible to watch him I think.

Chewbacca_&_me Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 I hope he is ok? I've not had any issues in this department but it sounds like the vet should be doing something more to ensure he's ok. Let us know what they say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 That happened to Bear after her Spey. Her external wound had a tiny gap in it and she bled everywhere. Looked like something from a horror movie. We called the emergency vet and they asked us some questions and decided that she wasn't in any immediate danger and to book her in to our usual vets first thing in the morning. Took her an extra week or so to recover and worried us half to death but eventually she was all healed up nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claire82 Posted September 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Vets went ok. She said the bleeding had reduced the pressure. He goes in tomorrow at 8:30 for another op to drain the area and explore it to figure out why it's gone like this especially at his post op check it was all grand! Its so scarry all the blood:( but the worst it has to be the cone! He,s been really bouncy today and knocking everything over! Tried adding photos but won't let me do it from an iPad:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claire82 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 His sack had filled with blood from a burst something or other. They found no infection which is good. He has to be in his crate 24/7 just let out for toilet for 2 weeks! He was meant to be going to his new home 2morrow but obviously that's not happening as they already have a husky it would wind him up something chronic to b stuck his crate prob is we have moved house and our cats are coming home tonight which wind him up just as much but can't really do anything about it apart from keep them separate and not let them into rooms he is in as they have to b inside for 2weeks. Not only that but as he was leaving us we stopped his insurance so he's not covered! Aaahhhhh is all I can say:banghead: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
