A little post about Tucker...

We have a really great dog named Tucker. He's a chocolate lab and he'll be 7 years old next month. In the past month, he as been to an eye specialist for his eye lids to be lifted and to the emergency vet for a 4 day stay because of an infection that caused severe swelling in his face and neck. Here are some pictures of his exciting month!

Tucker the day he come home from surgery...

Tucker a few days after eye lid surgery...

And below is a picture from his stay at the emergency vet. We had gone to see him during visiting hours - but he got to come home later this same day. You can see that his neck is still really swollen (it is shaved because they were looking for puncture wounds like from a snake bite) - it was bigger than that and on both sides at one point during his stay. Also, the day he went to the emergency vet, both sides of his face were swollen too. We have no idea what caused this.

Here's one last picture of Tucker after he'd been home for almost a week... His neck is still swollen, but not as much.

I know, I know...This blog isn't really about our dogs... but I wanted to post about something. The more I do this, the better I'll get at it. The next post will be about Ivy, I promise!
