thank God
thanks for all your prayers, bob is so much better today. the vet says it's a miracle his lung is healing by itself, and that he could be taken off the respirator so soon. he was able to stand up on all fours to greet us when we visited, and was back to his usual whiney self. hee.
so emergency surgery is no longer necessary for now (thank God), however he is still extremely weak and will remain under observation at the hospital for at least 2-3 more days.
the major concern at the moment is that he is not eating solid food, and has to be sustained by a drip. the vet says it could be due to the state of shock he's in, or, worst case scenario - it could be due to liver trauma.
they will run more tests tomorrow to determine how well he's improving, and if there's any other cause for concern.
in the meantime, joe is really missing him.
