he always takes a good couple of days to really recover from anesthesia but more than that

it has been. gross.

he went in for imagining (cant remember which kind honestly) as well as getting his nose scoped, and good news is they didn't see anything obviously horrible

bad news... when the vet was describing the amount of inflammation, she described the tissue as being "friable"

which means anytime they poked him a little with the scope in his nose, he bled

she was like "...yeah it... it was... he's okay but--"

so it sounds like it was a lot lmao

the vet tech also while trying to gently explain the nature of his nose while we were being discharged, I was like "--yeah I talked to the vet and she filled me in." and the vet tech had this vaguely haunted look and was like "okay great o_o "

I know it was enough that it was hard for them to get a good look at everything lmao. but they did at least get a good look at the very back, which is where we're pretty sure the problem is, and there was nothing obvious there

THE FUN PART NOW IS THE SNEEZING

IT'S. NOT GREAT.

I've been trying to keep him zonked out on the couch all day because whenever he wakes up the sneezing starts

stick is particularly grossed out by this. coming in from walking him she just yelled. "I DONT KNOW HOW HE DID IT BUT I WAS STANDING AND HE WAS POOPING BUT HE STILL MANAGED TO SNEEZE BLOOD ON MY HAND

so my life the past couple days has been kind of following my dog around with a towel, making sure he's laying on a towl, making sure the blankets within nose-shot are his nasty ones and not the ones we would actually want to put on our own bodies

including waking up anytime he moved around at night, since he kind of shuffles around to different places on the bed and also always gets up for a drink of water in the middle of the night

rearranging all the towels, making sure I don't bump his sore nose, etc

ohhhhh no

'friable' is never a word you want to hear...

yes gfdhkjgh I visibly winced when she said it

not a great word especially when describing the mucous membranes of a tiny dog

oh no... 8(

that sounds awful! poor baby...

he's not loving it lmao
