Please send corgi prayers/thoughts to Franklin today!-update 2

UPDATE 2: Augh, well Franklin couldn't just heal properly and be done with it! Today I woke up to him pawing at his face and his eye was super swollen and goopy. Just got back from the vet and she thinks he has a clogged tear duct (most likely from debris from the dental). So now I have to try eye drops for 10 days, bring him back in 2 weeks and see if it clears up. If it doesn't clear up it will require yet another procedure with heavy sedation/anesthesia so they can jab a blunt needle in his tear duct and flush it out. Wish he would just heal appropriately for once! I am soooooo grateful for CorgiPals, without them I have no idea what I'd do with these new added expenses. I guess just max out my credit card! Lol. So now I must ask for even MORE corgi healing thoughts and prayers that the meds are enough to unclog the tear duct and that he won't need another procedure!

UPDATE 1:
Well Franklin is doing quite well after his surgery. I keep having to remind him that he still isn't allowed to play fetch for at least another 10 days. It looks so weird that he has this big hole in his mouth now! Paige at CorgiPals posted Franklins story today. Here is the link

ORIGINAL POST:

I know the power of corgi thoughts, so please send Frank happy healing vibes today. He is going in for his tooth extraction and he does not do well under anesthesia so I am a nervous wreck! Its funny how part of my job (when I have one!) is to tell clients about how relatively safe anesthesia is and to reassure them that things will be ok. Well when its your own dog its a whole different ball game. His health condition makes it so his temperature drops way below what is normal and often they have to give emergency medications because his heart and respiration slow so much. He also has a very difficult recovery and is often trembling and howling up to a full day after the procedure. Please send us happy vibes that he gets through the procedure alright today. I am a nervous wreck and can't imagine my life without my boy so he HAS to do ok today. Ok, off to the vet!

I'm hoping Franklin has an easy time of it, and that all goes smoothly. I hope you do okay, too; I know the waiting is the worst part (such a helpless feeling when you can't be there with your loved one). Big hugs and well wishes to both of you, and post a report when you can!

Ellie sends corgi hugs and kisses for Franklin. I know the worst part is the waiting and when you have knowledge of what goes on it can sometimes make it worse. I'll be thinking of him today and hope he has a relatively easy recovery.

Milo and I are sending good corgi prayers and karma that Franklin comes through with flying colors. I got to experience the howling when Milo was fixed a couple months ago. I'd never heard such a thing - so sad. I hope Franklin surprises you. You take care! Give an update when you can.

Sending lots of prayers to you guys! Let us know how it goes. I know both Seanna and Jackson (this past time) had to have drugs to speed up their heart rate during surgery.
