Zack was a bit off colour today and when he refused his lunch I took him straight to the vets. A search of the garden discovered a couple of patches of vomit hidden in his favourite patch of shrubs. Turns out he has a possible hernia!
There was a bit of puffiness round the wound from his 'obstruction' op (see my introduction message) when he got his stitches out last week but the vet was sure this was a suture reaction. However today this puffiness was a swelling the size of a tennis ball. So he's at the vets for another op - hopefully he'll be home tonight.
Has anyone else had this problem with their lab after surgery? Any advice on making sure it does not happen again?
