Homer Update – 11/23/09

Homer is recuperating much better than was expected. I say that because Homer’s wounds were a few days old when he was brought to the veterinary hospital and it was originally thought that his wounds would not be able to heal properly without removing some of the dead and infected tissue. Homer’s most troubling wound was a bone-deep laceration to the back of the neck, near the base of his skull. The wound has sealed up very nicely and will not even be visible in a couple of months. Homer still limps from time to time, especially in the morning. He sustained an awful puncture to his front left paw that just hasn’t healed up completely. He is still taking oral antibiotics, which combined with rest, should have him at 100% in a couple of weeks.

Thanks to everybody who aided us in Operation Help Homer. Especially to Dr. Baldner and Officer Sugg. Way to go ladies! You guys are awesome. And good luck to Dr. Baldner in all her future endeavors. Dr. B is truly a difference maker with a gigantic heart.

That’s all for now. Wish me luck in Seattle. The weather is terrible right now and I will be lucky to catch a flight from Sea/Tac to Friday Harbor.
