6 hours at the vet.

So.... Yesterday was quite a long day. Wouldn't you say, mom?

Cayenne {wonderful doggy} started acting so weird, and he didn't wanna go out and barely walked anything. And I could just see that something was wrong, because he acted so strange. As the day got on he just layed there. And then he started bleeding. And limp. I freaked out a bit and could just feel that something was seriously wrong with him. And it just got worse because then he then couldn't walk at all. Cayenne didn't move. He tried, but his legs just fell under him. And you could just see how much he wanted to get up, but he couldn't. This is when I got really scared, because I thought there was something seriously wrong inside him.....

My mom got home and we drove to the vet. He still couldn't walk at all and you could just see how much pain he was in, he could barely lay down - which was the only option, but because it hurt so much he couldn't lay still.

We sat in the waiting room at the vet. for 4 hours. 4 very, very long hours. Snakebites {scary} on animals and such kept coming in, so we had to wait even more because they had to take the more critical animals first, naturally.

When we finally got into the vet. after 4 hours and she took a look... She said his anal sac had ruptured, and I hoped that there was nothing more which cased the no walking. I took one too, and I highly regret it. Oh god. That was not a pretty sight. Poor dog... He must have been in so much pain, I can't even imagine. And it must have hurt so much he just couldn't walk. He was put under and they shaved him and all to clean it. Due to his epilepsia {why is it always you stuff happens to?}, he couldn't be put under with the "strongest" stuff. But he was completely out after a few minutes.

brave dog with an iv in his little leg.

And it was so weird, he is the lightest sleeper and always jumps when you walk by and everything, but he was completely gone. So weird seeing. And when they was cleaning his wound he actually screamed and tried to get up, even when he was put under... I almost started crying. I couldn't even watch. He must have been in so much pain. It had actually ruptured, and.... uh, not a pretty sight. Shills down my spine.... Hopefully he wont remember anything though... Poor fnuff.

Brave doggy though. And it was so sweet, because he wasn't scared at all there. He knew we was just trying to help him, and he let them check him and all. You could see it in his eyes.

He woke up and was so scared and didn't know where he was, and it hurt so much so he was just wining. I just wanted to pet him and hug him, but that just makes it worse... Hated seeing him like that.

After 6 hours at the vet we got to go home... and the look on Cinnamon face... {other little doggy for those not keeping track}. He got so scared of Cayenne, with the funnel and just stared at him in shock....

Cayenne still isn't walking, but I think it still hurts so much. And it was so inflamated so it'll probably take a while. Really hope he'll go back to normal asap and start walking soon. Love you little guy.

no. poor little guy.. mittenbilderna där på Cayenne - ah, heartbreaking. jag hoppas verkligen att han hämtar sig så snabbt som möjligt, och det gör han säkert med tanke på hur bra allt verkar ha gått ändå med tanke på omständigheterna. liten kämpe där! all my blessings.

ditt nya sim-kort har inte kommit än, eh? tycker verkligen att det borde det nu, speciellt när något såntdär händer menar jag. hade jag själv suttit där i sex timmar och inte kunnat göra mycket annat än att vänta.. uh, vill inte ens tänka tanken. wish I could've been there, if you wanted that that is, just to maybe help the smallest.

well, ok. coming onto skype in just a sec.

OH. MY. GOD that sounds so painful!! poor cayenne! it must've broken your heart to see him like that... really hope that i recovers fast, poor little thing.... just started thinking about when he have to go to... let's call it the toilet, haha. that must hurt so bad! give him a little hug from me! (or something cuddly that doesn't hurt)

and yeah, i thought they were papillons. they are so cute :D kinda funny that he has to wear that collar thing with those ears, looks a bit... unpractical. i didn't know about the phaléne breed, though. they were cute, too! well, all dogs are cute. almost, at least.

i've found a lot of textures and tried them, but i never find quite the right ones. i want it to look like yours do!! haha. you have these tiny "dots" too, not only the scratches. but i'll just have to try to mix and match, and maybe find a couple more.

gah, i also hate the city!! i like it in those idyllic kind of photos, that romanticize everything about it, like living in an old shabby apartment and being really broke but still having the time of your life, but i've never wanted to live there. i want to live in this little cottage in the forest, almost like a budeie, haha :D (google translate called it mjölkerska?). that's why i loved the bushmanland trip so much, if you've read about that. even though we had to bring a shuffle and dig a hole when we were going to the toilet, haha. but i like that! weird enough. ah, it was so wonderful. i go hiking in the forest with my dog for a couple of hours every day, if i have the time. there's just so much beauty around us!! and not that much to be found in a big city ;) well ok, i really want to go to NY though. and i like oslo like once a year or something, haha :D

http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/6780_112921362023_1855563_n.jpg this is btw my favourite place on the earth (exept Harnas), a tiny cottage thingy high up in the steep mountains in norway, på vestlandet, and it's a couple hundred years old. i went there every year with my best friend (her mums aunt own it) for yeeears. not the last two, sadly.. and it's no water and no toilet, and everythings so steep high up in the mountainside, and it's just so amazingly beautiful around there, with a spectacular view over the fjord. with steep (wish i had a synonym for steep, lol) fields and forest around us, with all these beautiful flowers and horses walking around... aaah, love it!! just really, really norwegian. and i can't believe it used to be a farm, must have been so hard work!! and there's these old superstitious carvings over the doors, and yeah.. everything's just so old! THAT'S how i want to live, hahaha! don't think my boyfriend'll agree, though... wonder why...

but it's weird, cause i'm actually sososooo childish... but maybe my old soul is so wise and knows that you need to be childish to really unfold your happiness, hahaha ;) we can pretend that, at least. that i'm wise. hah!

and oh my god, when is this comment ever gonna end! sorry :D (soon, i promise) but yeah, i'm gonna practice that! i actually use the light consciously when i'm photographing, but that's when i go out with the purpose of taking photos. (of flowers, like always..... gah). i think i need to notice the shadows more! and how they 'play' with the light and make cool effects. like nr 4 and 5 in your last post. so simple, yet so effective. and i will try to do that in everyday life. i wanna capture small, beautiful everyday moments. well, at least i'm conscious about it now, hopefully that'll make i little difference :D

and THERE i'm done. gonna say like all the 9gagers - sorry for the long post! (wow, just looked up here again - it reeeally was long, haha)
over and out ;)

(and once again, bra återhämtning (i'm just trusting google translate here) to your little dog) <3

wow, i was actually not finished yet... (can you believe that? ;)) read that your dog has epilepsia, my dog has that, too. how is that 'working out' for you?

rocky got these huge seizures this winter, three-four times during the night, and he could get two in the same night. he was shaking, his legs running like crazy, foam around his mouth, there was no way to get contact with him, and he urinated and defecated (to use the proper expressions, since i'm becoming a nurse. lol) himself. luckily i've never experienced this, only my grandpa. i would have panicked and started crying like a baby! luckily the fits were months apart.

so he's just started medication, one pill in the morning and one in the night, and it's working out great. no more seizures, but he's still a bit tired, a side effect from the medication that'll soon wear off. but have you had any trouble with it? do you like notice anything about it normally? i've learned that it's quite normal, 1 in 100 dogs have it, but i still don't think it's cool. i want my dog to be healthy through and through, and i always get nervous if he acts weird in his sleep, haha.

so i just wanted to know your experience about it all, if you have some :) and another long comment to you, congrats! haha, i feel bad for you that have to read through all of this!

Ja fyy! Jag håller verkligen tummarna att han blir bra fort och slipper ha så ont! Det är tur att det finns veterinärer iallafall. Man känner sig ju så hjälplös själv när något händer!

Tack, fluffbollen är min och den andra är pappas/familjens :)

Samma sak hände min hund förra året, när vi var utomlands dessutom! Det var så hemskt att vara så långt borta och inte alls veta vad som var fel med vår bebis! Hon var även tvungen att operera bort livmodern också :/
