[Cagdu] final word on Edison

[Tina Thomas]

Hello Ken- I'm glad to hear that Edison is on the mend. Make sure he gets
that six weeks of medical leave so that his ribs will heal properly. Also,
as a suggestion, put a bell on Edison so that you can hear where he is in
and outside the house. Also, it would be a good idea to call Edison and have
him come to you when people are coming and going from your home.  I will
give you a call later to check on you and Edison. 

Tina

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.
