Poorly Puppy

I have been very very poorly and had to be in the dog hospital for nearly three weeks. The vet thought I had two bladders at first but it turned out I only have one kidney and my one kidney had a giant pus filled cyst on it that took a three hour operation to get rid of. Then the tube that was supposed to be taking the urine away leaked inside me and I couldn't eat and I was so sick the vet told Mum and Dad I might not ever get better. They put a feeding tube in my neck because I wouldn't eat. Mum and Dad came to see me every single day and brought a picnic and tried to persuade me to eat and gradually I started to feel better and to eat more food. When the tube was leaking inside me they didn't realise for nearly a week and thought I was getting sicker because I was so depressed. I had to have a catheter, which I didn't like, for a week too and then finally, finally they took the catheter out and I was allowed to go home.

As soon as I got home I was so happy that I started to eat and eat and eat and a few days later they took out the feeding tube because I'd put on so much weight and wasn't such a skinny puppy anymore. I still look a bit bedraggled because lots of my fur had to be cut off for the operation but it'll grow back one day and it's nice and cool for the summer.
