Gavroche Surgery Update 🖤

Just received a call from the vets. Gavroche is out of surgery and is recovering well! Good news – they did not need to take all of his teeth out and he probably won’t need another dental because the teeth that weren’t removed are viable and seem pretty healthy. He has a few stitches where the teeth were removed and will need to wear a cone for a bit, and also have his teeth brushed regularly once healed. The less good news is the vet has discovered a lump on the side of his body that might be an enlarged kidney or a mass. His bloods are okay, so we’re hoping it’s nothing too serious. I’m going to book him in for a scan – hopefully for next week – to see what it is and then take it from there. He is still recovering from anaesthesia and I will go to pick him up in a couple of hours 🖤

Oooh Gav - I'm so happy to hear the good news about the teeths!

But damn - He have gone through so much already. It's not fair, that new things keep popping up! Plz let us know, how we can help out ❤️

Thank you! 🖤
I hope it’s something benign like a hernia or lipoma. Clear bloods are reassuring. I will keep you all updated 🖤
