Wise Old Thumper
Parsley was doing a rare bit of head humping today (he hardly ever humps) and got bitten badly . . . We rushed him to the vet and just caught our specialist surgeon vet as she was literally getting in her car having locked up the surgery.
She re-opened at once and called a vet nurse to come back from home and they operated at once.
The end of his penis was crushed and cut and he has had to have some of it off (quite a lot) - she has done some kind of reconstruction thing and we are all very much hoping that once the swelling goes down he will be able to pee etc. She has put in some kind of temporary thing to keep the uretha open.
However he has had to stay in and stay sedated so that he does not try and lick/nibble the affected area.
We are all in shock and very worried about him . . it was a long op. and he has the huge abscess in his head which makes GA risky . . not to mention that the part of the body that was being operated on is very very sensitive and he does not cope well with pain.
He has come round but the next 48 hours are vital.
Another vet will be checking on him soon . . we are not allowed to have him home as he cannot be moved at present
It seems only the other day that he had to have his huge op for his broken leg - and then the ops to take all the pins and plates out, and then all the scans etc etc for his inner ear . .
and yet he is such an amazingly and totally incredibly lively bun - it feels so odd here tonight without him - he's like a cross between a 2 year old child and a lager lout - completely chaotic and all over the place always.
Really NEED to have him back with us . . .
