it's just an ear

[boxofdelights]

They ended up amputating Aiko's ear. I keep getting that Stevie Nicks song stuck in my head, but it's just an ear.
. And he doesn't mind having his beauty diminished; he's very shy, so he doesn't love it when strangers want to pet him.

My other dog has such lovely ears that he'd make a good entry in this "Sky puppy or land puppy?" quiz:

Poor Aiko! Doing okay?

[boxofdelights]

Yes, he's healing well. They took the stitches out today and I think his platelets must still be low, because there was one scab that started leaking and wouldn't stop, so they sealed it up with surgical glue. The vet techs do love him but he does not love them back.

Is Monte starting to feel like herself again?

The codeine knocks her over, but otherwise you'd not know anything had happened. She's not even interested in licking at the 7" long incision.

Aww, sweet babies!

Scritches for Aiko

I think it's possible to fashion a "Rakish Dog Look," with one fewer ear and one more beret, but I doubt he'd stay with it.

She looks very cute with half an ear! :D

Poor shy Aiko! I'm glad it sounds like his medical adventures are winding down for now. And what a cutie the one with all his ears is!

That's Newt! He's tiny. He'd be normal size for a cat, but as a dog he is... my Newt. (Ba-dum ching!)

[enemyofperfect]

Heeee, what an appropriate name!

Both so cute!
