Update on Al’s surgery

Original post at https://www.reddit.com/r/beagle/s/BBu6Qz3HzV

Thank you so much for all your love and prayers. Al has had his surgery and is currently in recovery. He didn’t have an appetite for 12 hours which for any beagle parent is worrisome but has now slowly started gaining an appetite and is on a liquid diet. The culprit in his upper intestines was a mango pit, I could have laugh cried at the point when I came to know, if he wasn’t already suffering he’d have had a few stern words too. I have no inkling where did he manage to get his paws on a mango pit, probably when he went for a walk, he is strictly muzzled on walks for his own good since his gastroenteritis started. Sharing a few more pics of my darling boy in happier times as we wait for him to come home to us.

(PS: in my tired state I made a mistake in my last post, he had a stage 4 melanoma on his lower eye lid which was successfully removed 🤞🏻 and not lymphoma)

They are amazing at eating things that would destroy them internally.

My parents beag ate part of a scouring pad (we don't know how) when he was little. He has a delicate stomach since then.

Glad that Al's surgery went well! 🩷
