[Cagdu] final word on Edison

[Ken Volonte]

Hi all.  Yesterday we took Edison to a full service animal hospital just north of Sacramento.  They were going to do ultra sounds, but we already had one.  Every test they asked to do, we had already done.  After all the speculation about rat poison and diaphragmatic holes bruising his liver and I don't know what all, the worked is, Edison has four broken ribs and will be on the injured list for about 6 weeks.  Dr. Runion advised against surgery, and Dr. Wong agreed.  They upped his pain medication and said that I shouldn't feel guilty, as I had done all I could and more.  They did offer one caution.  "Edison's going to want to play tugg-a-war in about two weeks.  Give him the full six weeks to just rest".  So he's not quite himself, but he offers everyone a lick and a wagy tale.  His ears are down.  They look folded into themselves.  The docs say I will know when he's out of pain because his ears will once again be up and listening.  Thanks for all your thoughts.  GDB has been following me through this whole process  Next week, I'm having both gates fitted with springs so they'll close by themselves.  That's all I can do.  Other people have suggested invisible fences, but I don't want Edison to be afraid of going outside, etc.  Thanks for your support.  I'd appreciate calls or posts. My phone is 209-464-6766. Thanks.
